And while the backgrounds did look nice, during confrontations with large groups of enemies I hardly noticed their presence. My biggest issue was the levels didn’t feel that varied with the only difference between each level was what the background looked like. It does have a lot going on mind you and if you aren’t used to a game with so much happening in one second, then you may feel slightly overwhelmed! All in all the graphics in the game are very good, with its hand drawn character art during the conversations, and unique looking levels. I really enjoyed the popping colours and visuals during game play. A little less conversation a little more action please Graphics If you’re a fan of Shmups along with action RPGs then Drifting Lands is most definitely an instant buy. The deeper you dive into the game the more you come to realize just how immersive the game is, and with its unique blend of action RPG with Shmup incorporated you get this genuine experience that can’t be found anywhere else. Whatever your approach to Drifting Lands whether it be heavily defensive or highly aggressive, there are ships at your disposal to choose from which cater to that particular playstyle. Really it becomes more of the player finding if the skills he/she have equipped will complement the current ship and gear. It lets you retreat the mission once your ship’s life hits 0 but losing all your loot in the process. Some skills are offensive while some are passive ex: Automatic Retreat for instance, this is one of your passive skills and is equipped at the start. Some skills can absorb certain enemy fire for a few seconds, while one skill can slow down time, making escape possible. It’s definitely a bullet hell shooter in its own right and I found myself bracing for impact instead of finding a pattern in hopes to lessen the blow, but they have skills that help with those difficult situations.
Obviously, there’s more to it than that, but blowing things up is definitely the most relaxing part of the experience.
There’s just something cathartic about holding down a button, and spaceships blow up. The continued existence of the scrolling shoot-em-up is a minor pleasure to me. Scarce resources, limited personal space, harsh political decisions are all fuel for petty jealousies or old blood feuds between families.
