Arcana Shoot! - Top STG Fun

Post by mjclark »

Thanks to Observer for pointing this out. It's the best shootan fun I've had in a long while:

Website and download here

Shmup based on the Arcana Heart series with a nod of respect to Psikyo (choice of stage order and power levels of secondary weapon) featuring lots of different characters (some unlockable) which can be levelled up each with a choice of lots of different secondary weapons. Also micro score attack and time attack modes and full English menus and tutorial :D

The game's made with the Tonyu System framework so there's no full screen (doh!) but I get very good results running it in 640x480 with a rotated desktop.
And it has a character called Saki The Saintly Lesbian so get on it :D

Have to say this is an interesting game. Reminds me of Arcana Hearts for some odd reason...

Anyhow, my only complaint has to be the no-fullscreen due to being made on the Tonyu System.

Funny how she has one of the best/worst hyper shots. Concentrating her hyper on one area is incredible, but leaves her vulnerable to enemies attacks due to a 1 second delay.

I reported this on @shmups a week or two back, didn't think it was anything startling though.

Tried it out, first two stages were way too long and boring .. by the time I got to stage 3 I got totally cheaped out by the damn enemies that grow chains of popcorns on you. :(

Instructions:
1. In the "キーワード" field enter arcana, the click on the button below it.
2. In the next page, click on the "click here to start download" link.

You may feel free to reupload this game on other file hosts.
I express my apologies for posting a bunch of mobile shmup threads in this forum in recent months, because some members perceive them as "spam." I have to redeem myself.

Just got into the last stage for the first time. Mostest unfairest sheet ever after playing Sin Mei-Fang, that is full of indestructible balls of plasma that corner you until you get hit by the intense popcorn waves flying all over the place.

Wow, you say the game is great but post 2 shit pictures that tell me nothing & a link in Japanese that's not exactly pointing at the game download on an english forum?! ... Hal1's link lead me to a ton of porno (though I know he was trying to help)... well, screw wasing any more time to find this game. I'm sure it's great, though. Bye.

mjclark is banned, man. Even if he wanted he wouldn't be able to fix the download link. And I just tried Hal1's link, worked just fine and no porn here.

Just cleared it. Last Stage is actually quite manageable once you know what to expect, though I'm not sure how doable it is with some of the other characters.

Did you not notice the massive year old necrobump or the instructions to download the zip file? Were a couple of shitty banner ads really that disturbing for you that you couldn't figure out how to download the game off that page? :roll:

No, I never notice them old nercro bumps (we don't all look at the post dates most of the time, do we?), so yay for that being cleared up. Porn pics? No, they were more tastefull then Playboy, just upset that it didn't come with a free game. ... I'm still right for being upset at the shity pics that people post all over the internet, though (even more so for shitty vids). And it also don't mean a lot of folks don't place me at a Japanese site far, far away from the download link, as just yesturday I spent way to much time going through this one site for just one doujin STG that may or may not be for me? AND that was even with google translate! Yep, it's a pain not even porn + free game can fix.
