RefRain Prism Memories

[mjclark]

So just what is the story to this game? Is this another Weapons test by Ersatz Skynet? Is this Humanity taking back the surface? Is this a computer simulation that the 3 protagonists are taking part in to train for retaking the surface?

Inquiring minds want to know

"Prism ...
It is necessary to maintain its presence worldwide electronic neural network, which consists of the outer storage.
There are also those who have to know their purpose is looking for precious memories
The thoughts of each breast, a computer network girls "MRS" to dive into. " Thanks again Google translate lol .
Sounds like it's something to do with regaining mankind's lost memories from an artificial neural network
I thought I'd seen the story on the RebRank page or in the manual but actually that's all I could find.
This really is a tops game. Even I managed to 1cc it on Easy but havn't quite managed to clear it on Normal yet.My only critiscism is that the 4th Stage boss is called "Citrus And Seedless" but worse things happen at sea eh?

Also they've just brought out a patch to fix the counterstop this morning

Here's a quick demo of how to negate suicide bullets from the large ships in stage 2.

A friend of mine just finished translating the hint section of the manual, for those that are interested in reading it.

That's really good work - thanks!

Hey, bumping the thread as I'm confused about another thing.
What exactly triggers a higher multiplier upon boss destruction?

Are you talking about the hit count? It increases when you shoot a boss that has been stunned by a high level MEFA attack (a blue ring will appear around the boss when that happens, larger size means longer duration of stun).

[SFKhoa]

I know about that. I mean when the boss blows up, I usually get something like [number of hits]x16 and I dunno how I triggered it.

Finally 1CC'd the game with Must Viper (Miria).



Next I'll try the pink haired loli that looks like Madoka. i hear she's better for scoring.

I wish this game had a stage select. I'm not a big fan of working my way back to a certain level just to practice something.

You can choose "replay central" if you're not happy with how things are turning out. Pretty sure it works on every stage except the last.

Didn't even know there was a function like that until I checked the pause menu just earlier after you mentioned it. Pretty helpful but there isn't a Replay Central option for the second loop(?) which is a little bit disappointing. Oh well, I can make do for now since I was kind of struggling on learning how to use Tee.

I've got a question here, I've been wondering this since this morning. In the second dive loop (the one with suicide bullets), anybody knows if there is a fourth phase after the third final boss? And if so, how to activate it?

For information, I play on Normal difficulty. At the 5th Central, during the third phase of the final boss I noticed that there is a time limit and a bonus points countdown, hinting to me that it can perhaps be destroyed or something, especially since its health gauge can be filled ridiculously rapidly. Then again, I also noticed that I had unlocked every tracks in the Music Gallery and I would of expected a fourth phase to have different music alongside a "True ending" rather than just "Normal" and "Good", so I'm unsure of whether or not there is a fourth phase.

I asked the same thing in the old doujinstyle forum which nobody me included had encountered a final phase. Although I havnt beaten the game in the 2 hardest modes so maybe a 4th phase is in there.

I'm not good enough to verify this lol. That being said, I haven't even tried it on the harder difficulties, it's just a habit of playing shmups on Normal, and every other type of games on the hardest settings (since let's face it.. apart from shmups in my case, games tend to become easier with each passing year).

It's worth a try though, but I doubt I'll make it through.

I don't think there's a 4th phase, there is no music for it in files.

I've done Extreme on the second dive and I can assure you that there is no fourth phase.

Thanks to everyone who replied.

That's good news, because I still tried it and alas, I'm definitely not good enough at shmups lol, so I would of never known if there was one on higher difficulties. Thanks :]

A new PV with a little peek at C.C.S.B. Prototype Version.

Looks like a minigame of some sort, though the rotation gimmick may very well be inspired by REVOLVER360.
