Скачать или смотреть Demo Play Thursday - Revolgear Zero DEMO On

For this week's #Demo Play Thursday i played the #NintendoSwitch version of Revolgear Zero, from developers Bikkuri Software.

Side Scrolling Shooters is another genre, much like last week's Vertical Shooter, that i'm not great at. i've got more practice with this one but it's been a while since i last played a game like this. so the fact that there's a demo is great for me as i'm always happy to try one of these games, as i hope to find one i enjoy and might be decent at.

Revolgear Zero certainly got the look and soundtrack down. it feels like a game from the Mega Drive, SNES, PlayStation era but with none of the slowdown. It has some interesting gameplay mechanics revolving around your ships power and weapon platform looking things called bits. But the game fails to properly convey how it all works. there is a tutorial to watch, but it goes fast and does it's best to never mention which buttons it's pressing. in the top right there is a listing of what some of the buttons do, but the terminology used there is different to what's said in the tutorial.

This demo only has Standard mode, consisting of two levels, and Mission mode but there is replay-ability as there's 4 different difficulty levels and you're able to play as different characters who have different attributes and also there's a large variety of bits you're able to equip. the two levels i played were very different from each other, not just in music and style but also in enemy mechanics and level hazards. the 10 missions available took place elsewhere and challenge you to do something specific in a very short time.

Because the tutorial for Revolgear Zero is a bit rough, i didn't quite get how best to play it and this affected both modes in the demo. however, now i've practiced a little and realise some things i was doing wrong, i feel like i could play the game better than i did this demo. so that almost makes the demo required playing before the retail game. other than that, i think that this is a decent demo but i don't think Revolgear Zero is quite for me.
