Shooters and shoot ‘em ups can come wrapped in all sorts of different packages. This may be the most diverse genre since so many different games can be considered shooters. Azure Reflections falls somewhere in the genre as a side-scrolling shooter set against a fantastical backdrop.
Shikhondo Soul Eater is a bullet hell shoot ‘em up set against the backdrop of Asian Mythology. Like most games in this genre, the story takes a back seat to the action. So unless you’re well versed in Asian culture, most of the story elements will be lost on you.
After the death of Prometheus, the king of the gods, the titans waged war on each other to seize control of the world. The first great war left the world in ashes and the titans withdrew to re-build their forces. This world cannot withstand any more; someone must end the second great war before it starts. Enter the furies: Triss the tank, Alex the fighter, Meg the sniper, and Erin the engineer. Together they will drive back the titans, save the world, and make a lot of really corny jokes.
