![]() Now, there is a little twist here too, as when you go through the levels, you can pick up capsules from enemies capsules that have the letter “P” emblazoned on them. All the standard bullet hell tropes are present and correct, with a couple of little twists that help to separate this from the other many games in the genre.Īs you blast your way through levels, defeated enemies leave behind crystals that can be picked up and help to charge a super attack. But the gameplay? Well, I hesitate to use the B word again, but it is suitably insane as well. So, we’ve seen that the story is bonkers and the graphics on display are lovely (but bonkers). It’s saying something when a guinea pig, who can fly, is one of the more sensible character choices! It’s complemented nicely by some sounds which are perfectly serviceable the music and standard space shooty sound effects all fitting in nicely. Have you wanted to be a kind of fairy, with green hair, firing love hearts from your forehead in a shooting game? You’re in luck here then, as the range of characters you can play as is fantastical indeed. In fact, it’s the actual design of the characters here that is the real winner. Granted, the visuals aren’t quite as sharp as those of Cuphead, but all in all it’s very impressive. The cartoon style of the graphics, the highly stylised design of everything on screen, and the smooth animation make looking at Q-YO Blaster a real pleasure. The graphical style put me in mind of Cuphead, and given that, in my opinion, Cuphead is one of the best looking games of all time, this is high praise indeed. Still, moving on and as we look at the presentation of the game, there is nothing short of a big tick. Honestly, shooting games generally need stories like fish need bicycles, but in this case a little explanation as to what the heck is going on would be gratefully received. ![]() I’ve watched all the cutscenes, and battled through all the levels, and I still have absolutely no clue as to why the hero of the game appears to be a guinea pig called Mr Cheeks, and why the enemy design in the various levels go from small but not too weird, such as mosquitoes, to small and completely out there, such as a kind of airship with hands in white gloves down the side that do the firing. After all, kicking a bunch of alien ass is always better if we know why we’re doing it, isn’t it? Sadly, this time around I can’t do that, as I have absolutely no idea what is going on in Q-YO Blaster. ![]() Now, usually I’d start a review with a recap of whatever the story is this time around. ![]()
