The arrange mode is really something else. Others have mused that CC Arrange is the perfect inteemediary between Novice and Arcade. I'd agree, and its challenge is fair without being too easy - even moreso than Novice.

This game gives me everything I need in a shmup, and my love for it has only increased in the Switch version, since I don't game a lot on my laptop.

This is definitely the definitive version by far. I wonder still how it will be brought to Steam though. Will World Ignition be updated and priced up? Seperate release? No solid info just yet.

Excited to see this. Crimson clover is my fav shmup of all time and the one I judge all other bullet hells by. I’ll be buying this upgrade when on steam for sure.

@StudioMudprints 3 жыл бұрын

Crimzon Clover has indeed always set a platinum standard for doujin bullet hell, but i think it's actually applicable to full shooting productions these days, even since Cave essentially disappeared from shmups development.

@kobito1176 3 жыл бұрын

I don't have a Switch unfortunately but I've been getting back into the game on PC in preparation for the update, and it's still just so damn good. Also I've gotta say, I love how the thumbnail for each episode has a different design for the review number to match the game's logo, but this one has to be my favorite so far!

Thanks, it's something I've beem doing for a while and some are better than others. I think the ones for Sisters Royale, Oshaberi Horijo Gekihori, Guardian Force and Hyper Duel turned out really good too.

Yes, absolutely. It feels much more different than Astebreed, no question: the lockon mechanic is more natural to the gameplay (offering cave-style focus) and it works well for scoring.

Is this Gradious like mechanics really a good fit for a game like Crimzon Clover? Is it necessary? I can't help feel this was added strictly to pad out the "features" for a console release. I'm sure it's very fun, it just seems a rather forced edition.

@StudioMudprints 3 жыл бұрын

It works better than Gradius, so I'd day it's worthy. It feels a lot less derivative of the original too, which is what you want if you don't want everything to feel exactly the same.

@atrocity3010 3 жыл бұрын

Haven't played this but I did play World Ignition. If they didn't tweak the difficulty then I can't recommend it for average skill players. Novice is so easy it's boring and Arcade is so stupidly hard it's not worth playing.

Arrange is the intermediary. Worth it.
