1-The presentation is overally incredibly bland, the game is filled with recycled assets with minor changes, almost all of them being a variation of a small boy with blue hair; this also applies to the opponents you fight, so it'll always be that same kid. the main song is pretty good but the rest are forgettable, the moment you turn off the game they stop existing. The map textures also look like they were bought on an unity store at a discounted price, it doesn't really help the game look better 2-Looking at the trailer, the game you'd think that the ballistic craft aspect would be expansive and allow creative patterns that work well in game, but the bullet maker in itself is pretty underdeveloped. for appearance you can only change the color of the bullet the size, and assign one of 4 predetermined effects. nothing else. you don't get to use lasers, you don't get to use bigger bullets than 150cm or smaller bullets than 50cm, you don't get to change the shapes. mechanically speaking...

About This Game
Ballistic Craft is an action battle arena where you fight with magic bullets called Shots.
Defeat your rivals through “Shot Development” that allows you to create your own custom shots by changing shot trajectory, speed, size and color in a variety of ways. The number of Shots that can be produced from these elements is almost infinite! Originality and strategy that confuse and confound your opponent are the keys to victory. Your custom Shots can be shared worldwide through the Steam Workshop.

In single-player "Quest Mode", you will participate in the League of Crafters as a novice wizard. Aim to dominate at the yearly tournament that determines the best of all the Magic Knights. You can acquire new Shots as you battle your way through the Quest Mode, then use these Shots as they are, or as a template for further custom development.

The battle mode supports local / online multiplayer. You can play casually with friends or compete with players around the world through random matching.

An extremely fun Bullet-Hell PvP. The default controls are a bit iffy, but they can be changed. The basics of the gameplay is that you play as a wizard and you get to equip 3 shots(spells) and one tome. The tome adjust the player's attributes and other things set to your character, like faster ground movement, invisibility when air dashing or faster shield recovery when health is low. Unlike most bullet-hells, this game is on a 3D plane, which effects combat quite a bit and is important when considering how you approach combat, utilize the platforms and what shots you use since some shots take advantage of the air. Something that's particularly interesting about this game is how health works due to the combat heavily involving a shield (guard) meter. The shield is more or less automatic, although it's strength improves based on if you move in the opposite direction of enemy fire. You still lose health while the guard is up, just not as much as you do when the guard breaks, in which...
10/10 An amazing game. Creating your own shots is fun and there's endless possibilities. Making your own shot kit has been very fun. The league mode offers a nice challenge. This is certainly a hidden gem on Steam, especially for the low price.
Fun, but few people play it
A fun game with unique mechanic of creating your own shot.
Finally! I've always wanted to have a game where you could create a custom bullet hell pattern in PvP. This is the closest I've gotten to that kind of game. I'm excited to see if this game gets a larger following/more coverage.
とにかくショットを作って戦うのが楽しい。 プレイしていると、幼い頃カスタムロボを夢中で遊んだ経験を思い出した。 城の中を探索してバトル相手を探す部分も激闘編を彷彿とさせる。 当時は自分好みのガンがつくれたらなぁ、と夢想したものだ。 それを叶えてくれたこのゲームに感謝したい。 システムはかなり完成されているが、キャラクターデザインなど見た目にキャッチーさがあれば大化けする可能性があるのは惜しいところ。
For the small price tag of 5.99 I think its a pretty fun game. Crafting the spells is pretty interesting and I don't think there are many games on the market that do things like this. It basically consists of choosing between one of four projectile types and changing their size on a scale as well as color, followed by adjusting the path the projectile can take and how much of a curve it has as well as the speed that it moves at. This works on a node system, so you attach a node to your trajectories line and manipulate these things where the node is placed. You can place dozens of nodes on one line (although this does increase the cost of the spell) and create some interesting things, like a flurry of projectiles that stop mid air then suddenly target the enemy all at once at max speed or several projectiles that instead of homing in zigzag or squiggle in a wide area. This is because there is also a timeline that you can place multiple projectiles across, or even set them to release...

Not bad. Can be completed in less than an afternoon with 100% achievements if you... well, use some custom shots. Graphics per se are not bad. Effects are cool and do the trick, but nothing spectacular. Gameplay consist in dueling the same guy (gal?) over and over again, by throwing a bullet hell of luminescent balls at him (her?) in different forms, sizes and trajectories. There is a very complete editor where you can change a lot of settings for your balls. The energy balls. Not your character balls. She is a girl. Or a girl shaped boy. Or a boy with a ponytail and a skirt. I don't know, the game plot is not as complex as the editor. The story is about this main character that gets into this magic high-school full of white-haired clones and decides to fight them for sport... or fun... or because she wants to prove that in a closed society full of albino individuals with superiority complex there is hope for those that, while different, can get to the top with effort and work.
