28 of 28 · most liked firstOk, so I'm gonna re-do the review as the old one was for the VERY first version of the game, and after revisiting it with an older RIP I used to own and videos I did, the game has wildly changed. First, who's G.Rev? Most of the Staff is formed by former Taito Employees, you know about G Darius? Ikaruga? Well, this devs were inside those releases doing some sort of collaboration on programming or another, and you can see them in the game credits. They also did most iMobile Japanese ports…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Senko no Ronde 2 is an obscure port of a Japanese arcade game released in 2010. The title was later ported to the Xbox 360 and the prequel was released in America as WarTech: Senko no Ronde. Gameplay wise, this is a mix of both a bullet hell shmup (shoot 'em up) and a fighting game. Think of it as a mix between Psychic Force and Virtual On. If you're a fan of anime, mecha, the shmup genre and the fighting game genre, you'll enjoy this game. The characters are fully voiced in Japanese and each…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beside Acceleration of Suguri, this is another one of the rare gem from Japan. A mix between shoot-em-up and fighting game that I would call a 'Danmaku (Bullet Hell) Fighting Game'. It is not too hard to pick up, but as the bots showed me, it is not easy to master the arts of dodging countless bullets and counterattacking at the same time either. No tutorials on specific character specials and moves, but the basic tutorial covers enough. Speaking of characters, at first glance, they seemed…

The gameplay is 1v1 Bullet Hell that is pretty fun. There's a story mode with a lot of text and characters; where the fights are whatever character you need to be for the story. In arcade mode, you can be whoever you want of course and experience in full what the game has to offer. Arcade mode…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't let numeral in the title fool you, this is more or less a slightly rebalanced version of SnR DUO with just a pinch of new content, so don't go in expecting an all new experience if you were lucky enough to get your hands on DUO. But since this is the first time the game is available in English on an international marketplace, a fully localized version of DUO is still great to have, even all these years later. G.rev are often seen as carriers of the Taito torch, and while Senko no Ronde…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →3/10. Very expensive for what is is. No player base, for multiplayer. And some serious bugs. If you find it with more than 70% discount maybe it is worth.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The original Senko no Ronde on Xbox 360 was a game I played so much back then. It was a hard game to master, but even though I wasn't too good at it. I still had a bunch of fun with it. To see that the sequel got ported over to Steam is super fantastic. Think of Senko no Ronde as two games mixed as one. The combat style is a mix of Virtual On meets Zone of the Enders. You basically have to defend yourself against the incoming amounts of bullets and lasers at all times. You also have swords as…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A solid sequel to Wartech/Senko no Ronde. Great if you like shmups and fighting games,
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A nice little gem from Japan, combining both Fighting and Shoot ‘Em Up, is a good experience that no fan of the Shoot ‘Em Up genera. Also giving you the chance to play the story of Senko no Ronde DUO
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the most GOATed fighting game. i regret nothing. ive still yet to get the extra fighter DLC but overall i'd say this game is very worth the time and money if you enjoy BOTH fighting games and shmups, or like one and want to dip your toes in the other. the tutorial makes the game easy to learn, though msstering a character will take varying amounts of effort depending on who you pick (i will be making a guide on that soon). story may not make sense at times but i think that's what makes things…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fantastic game but the net code needs a lot of work. You can't narrow matches by region or connection quality or even see ping, and lag results in not only input delay but also severe slowdown throughout the match which makes it an over-all fairly unenjoyable experience. If I'd bought this for full price this would be a deal breaker but at 50% off I think the single player content makes it worth your money.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Story mode is painfully dumb, and annoying in places but everything else is good and gameplay is really fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have never heard of this game or series before. After playing it all this time I have to ask: how can this only have 35 "Mostly Positive" reviews? This is absolutely fantastic! A true hidden gem that is a blast to play. I didn't expect this at all. Seriously, If you love shooters and Mecha; like Gundam, Macross, Virtual-On, etc then this game was MADE for you. In fact, I would say this is the spiritual successor to Oratorio Tangram. It's literally an evolution of that but in 2D. Combat is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The controls are perfect, kinda hard to get used to, but they are awesome and satisfying when you get used to them. The mechas are well-designed and every one has its own, awesome style I can't play the Story mode because my PC is Mr. Potato though :( Also I'm no one to say this, but it needs to explain the mechanics better to attract more audience (the netcode needs to be fixed too, but I'm sure they're working on that)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome game. One part shoot-em-up, one part fighting game, Senko No Ronde 2 provides intense action and mind games as you and your opponent swarm eachother with bullets. I highly recommend this game if you are familiar with both game types. I am running this game on a computer with specs below the minimum, however it is working just fine for me (YOUR RESULTS MAY VARY). The negative i see is sometimes you'll be matched with someone and the match is laggy.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too many characters. Too much story. Confusing controls. It looked like something I would have liked but I guess I was wrong.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my favourites is Senko No Ronde 2. A lot of casual value with this one, since it's kind of 2D shmup Virtual-On. Certified banger with friends store.steampowered.com/app/574160/S...
unlabelledView post →Yea its pretty cool
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An unique take to fighting game. It plays like a 2D shooter, and you can be the boss (and your opponent can too). You choose your character/Rounder (battle mech or whatever) and a support character for support actions. Arcade mode has a disjointed story but there is a story mode with apparently more sketch-y character design (which was based on the original Senko no Ronde Duo not released outside Japan) but switch back to a more modern character design as used in arcade and character profile…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sugoi Action game. Shooting and fighting cross battle. STG FIGHT ON! G rev. is sugoi sugoi Very cool arena style fighter with a shoot 'em style to it. It kind of plays like a Virtual On/ Gundam Versus but on a single screen. Obviously tons of differences due to the difference in perspective but some elements carry over. Regardless a very fun action/ fighting hybrid that more people should check out!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a very fun little SHMUP. not recomended because it came out in 2017, and is as advanced as mid 90s shmups with nothing new to bring to the table, and an insane price tag for what youre getting. its fun, but VERY basic with nothing but incoherent voice acting that literally 98% of the world cannot understand at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a 360 game if I recall correctly. It's so fun! You can essentially fight hand to hand if you're close, but otherwise you are responsible for half of a bullet hell arsenal while your opponent does the same. If you play your cards right, you can become a final boss, but so can the opponent. It does feel a tiny bit janky, as you can expect from that era, but how many fighters let the projectiles go this nutty? Buy it an play meeeeeeeeeeee!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game doesn't launch anymore
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The original Senko no Ronde (or WarTech) was a fantastic game in which 2 players launched showers of bullets, lasers and missiles at each other, but despite its frantic appearance, it was a very smart game that rewarded planning, adjustment and resource management way more than you would suspect, looking at it in a glance. Senko no Ronde 2 is not different in that aspect, but it improves the controls, adds more characters and loadout customisation and a better balanced experience. Can't be…
