GundeadliGne Demo

GundeadliGne is the second title in the Gundemonium trilogy, and it’s considered the best since it also brings some new features to the series.

The Gundemonium games have been revived by developers Platine Dispositif, who is making sure that these are working on modern systems. This is a game in the “bullet hell” genre, which is a pretty literal explanation of what’s happening on the screen at any given time. If you think that it’s a game where half the display is covered in projectiles, then you would be right.

The point of this extravaganza is to create a feeling of overload to the player and hopelessness. When you see all of those projectiles floating around you will probably keep thinking that you're not going to make it. Sometimes that’s true, but you’ll be surprised to see that you’re going to live a lot longer than you would anticipate.

The introduction in the Gundemonium trilogy was a little bit more tempered, and the learning curve was more lenient. For GundeadliGne, the developer has abandoned any kind of learning curve and the player is bombarded right from the start with a lot of enemies and difficult level.

The novelty for GundeadliGne is that the game supports co-op mode, but only on local systems. Also, players might notice that many of the enemies are now placed behind the character, and there is a good reason for that. It’s now possible to turn the character around so that it can fire the other way. It adds a little bit to the complexity, not that it needed.

The story from the original Gundemonium is continued in GundeadliGne, but it’s complicated narrative with Japanese influences, so unless you really want to know what’s going on you’ll have to do a little bit of reading.

The gameplay is pretty similar to the first version in the series, so it’s not much to talk about. Face lots of enemies in battle, gather as many bombs as possible, and hope for the best when the boss fight inevitable starts.
