Devil Engine (PS4,Switch, PC) 2018- Hyakutarou music

Sounds like unfair design if you ask me…

So Ignition just rehashes the main game, huh? The final bosses look unchanged for the most part.

[XoPachi]

I mean the remixed stages are substantially different and the main bosses are all new. Sub bosses have almost totally different patterns with certain ones being outright replaced. Cool twists like the new Ikko Turso being extended beyond where it originally died freshen up a familiar face. The layouts of the stages are totally rearranged with much better visual depth on the sprites. New ship, remixed music, new announcer, and freakishly hard. I think it's a lot for 8 bucks.

Main bosses? The final boss seems largely unchanged, at least… The one before the final boss, though, at least has you fighting the red mecha you fought as the Stage 4 boss in the original in its prime instead of its weakened state.

The Steam port of Devil Engine Complete is available to download. It runs at a silky-smooth 60fps framerate, indeed, on a Steam Deck setup.

On the Xbox store, Devil Engine Complete is listed at $24.99 for Xbox One/Series S and Series X.

PC Engine Fan X! ^_~

It's available on PS/Xbox, but hasn't got to Switch yet
I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's due to there being two different distributors for whatever reason (XStation = Poppy/Switch = Wolfgame)

The regular game has been on Switch digital for almost five years, the physical for switch released yesterday. The complete edition came out yesterday digitally for Switch, and I think the DLC has also been available for years.

Obviously, I was talking about the complete, as I did not get Doc and the DeLorean, travel back to 2019 when the original was not available on Switch, then travel back to Thursday November 09, 2023 10:46 am to make a post about it's absence.

Edit: I appreciate the new notifications, but could something be added so the user may toggle them? I use this exchange as an example of stupid fucking shit I could have lived my whole life without being notified of/feeling the need to respond to, and would of been 'fine' at the least, 'happier' at most.

Well, mea culpa it was a simple misunderstanding.

Edited out the apology. This user doesn't deserve one.

No, it was just made available. It was originally planned to be released much earlier but got delayed. Steam had a page for it, but it just became available for download.

Clearly I am an incorrect fool. Been working a lot, but I don't know what I was thinking about when I wrote that. I did choose the word think for a reason but still, a complete glitch in my brain I guess. I'll just steer clear of this thread then.

Wowza saw the other users edit. You're a real welcoming bunch, aren't you? I'm now pretty certain I'm just going to delete my account rather than deal with people like this, holy shit like calm down.

Also, what was with that ending? It almost looked like one of the endings of the original games, but then it suddenly rewinds and we get a very cryptic message in Japanese...

[Darkseed_5150]

Does the PS5 version have any upgrades? Does its at least run at native 4k?

Sorry, my annoyance was directed at the new notification system more than the dumb comment itself. In times of old, I probably wouldn't have even noticed said comment, or if I had, it would have been so old I wouldn't had bothered responding.

My OG version launcher on Switch updated today to the Complete version, but my excitement was quickly extinguished upon firing it up to realise it's still the same standard edition, minus DLC. Thought I got a freebie for a sec

[XoPachi]

That remix of At Thunder's Gate is fire.

[Strider77]

Does the PS5 version have any upgrades? Does its at least run at native 4k?

No, it's fucking ugly actually. It's blurred and looks substantially worse. I'm quite pissed.

So you're saying to avoid the PS5 version like the plague?

[To Far Away Times]

Does this have better level design and difficulty ramp up than the OG version? The original looked and sounded nice but was let down by subpar level layouts and ridiculous difficulty spikes.

[Jonpachi]

Wait, so the PS5 version is worse than Switch? Does anyone have comp screens to share?

[Strider77]

I have both, trust me the PS5 version is significantly blurry compared to the Switch version (which is stupid AF).

You saved me a purchase then. I had both in my cart, but I guess I'll pass on the PS5 version.

This is such a unique boss theme for an STG.
Kind of want more of this.

Damn good. Reminds me of a darker BIOTRON from Viewpoint. Can't stop hearing the latter's samples now I've relistened, beware if you're unfamiliar.

Hey, can't go wrong with dubstep music in shmups.

The PS5 version strangely is very blurry until you actually start level 1. Once you get a few seconds into it, the blurriness goes away and it looks just as crisp/clear as the Switch version. It’s very strange. But it does look fine after that initial boot up/intitialzation.

[Jonpachi]

Completely baseless guess, but it makes me wonder then if they’re running the whole game in a texture layer, and that’s why it “catches up” in terms of sharpness as the stage begins.

Yep maybe. When I first booted it up I was really pissed off at what I was looking at but all the sudden, it was fine. Rebooted a few times to see if I was imagining things but it happens every time. It looks fantastic once it gets “caught up” like you said.

Is this really what people think dubstep is now??

Either way Qwesta did a fantastic job with the soundtrack so it's really sad thry had a falling out.

[xxx1993]

I thought it was pretty good also.

[ZaKa-tokyobassist]

I'm liking Ignition but it's pretty damn hard. Not sure if I'm ready to commit the time needed to clear this at the moment with everything else going on.

Stage 1 alone is harder than late game stages in many other games including Hyper Duel that it's inspired by lol.
