For fans of HnS *AND* Danmakus only
Off the bat, Furi is highly pleasing on both a visual and auditory level. The bold colors makes the game easier to read, and more action titles (besides Hotline Miami) can benefit from Synthwave soundtracks. One of the core design ideas behind this game is to make a sort of abridged action game with all the pointless cannon fodder enemies removed, leaving only a series of polished and memorable boss fights. This is great and something more action games should try. Unfortunately, it's all undone by the other big gimmick, which is that the combat is a hybrid of both the hack and slash and danmaku/bullet hell genres--meaning that in addition to to smacking people with your sword and dodging/parrying their blows, etc, you'll also be scraping by waves of projectiles that the bosses fire in complicated radial patterns, as you slowly wittle down their health with your own measly stream of bullets. The issue is that you may not be a fan of both genres, and I can attest to loving HnS games, but disliking danmakus. I get that these are both niche "hardcore" genres, and that there must be some overlap between their fanbases--but probably not a lot since they rely on very different player skillsets. This wouldn't be much of a problem if the danmaku and HnS combat modes worked as alternate strategies for each boss (ie, they only did their bullet attacks at a distance, and their HnS moves up close, so you could choose an approach that you find more enjoyable) but instead the bosses have linear phases that alternate between the two, and most foes emphasis one style over the other. Chances are that HnS fans like me will probably have fun with the first boss but then have a miserable time with the second and third more danmaku-centric foes (the second of which moves annoyingly fast and has way too much health for my liking) but if you happen to be part of that minority that likes both genres, then give this one a go because this is clearly a game that has been made with love.
Hilft dir das weiter?
