Story

A long time ago, during the Great Vampire War, four nations joined forces to defeat the evil Lord Rangok and bring an end to his dark reign of terror. Wielding the arcane ‘Vampire Spear’ – a powerful weapon forged by wizards – the nations prevailed and Lord Rangok was vanquished.
Following their glorious victory, the Vampire Spear was divided between the four nations as a symbol of their strong alliance. A great period of peace endured, until…


Present day. A mysterious message from an unknown sender has spread chaos across the four nations: “Bring the Vampire Spear, and you will be given rewards beyond your wildest dreams.”
War has started!

A bullet hell that wants to be a SHMUP....Dev's have no clue on how to make a shmup. MOVEMENT: Insanely slow - hurts trying to dodge a bizzzzlion bullets on the screen BOSS Battles: Good Luck - I feel that you need to always pick up the bombs that drop to even come close to not losing lives SPRITES: I'm not gonna state the obvious [Thieves] But its really hard to tell what is a point gem/power up/bomb and enemy bullets! Pixels are way too big for the screen size MUSIC: AWESOME! About the only great thing about the game! NO CLUE HOW TO UNLOCK THE HARD MODE?????? I beat the game in 40 mins on my second run. Low Number of Levels Game is not worth 20 bucks!!! Wait for it to go on a sale or if more levels get added to the game but they will need to steal more pixel art to do so and then remodel them! So dont expect more levels anytime soon NO INNOVATION WHATS SO EVER! Standard SHMUP! I would pay $5 bucks for it

This game name drops lots of really good, high profile shmups in its description but fails to reach even the worst of those developers' games. There is no difficulty curve. The screen is immensely busy with so much shit from the drop that most of the times I got hit I had no idea from what because it's impossible to keep up with anything that's happening in this game. Is it bullet hell? Yes. Is it good? No. There is absolutely zero finesse involved in the creation of this game. No thought put into the flow. If you're looking for Cave quality, look elsewhere. This is garbage.

There's so much on the screen, with so little weight between them. It's hard to tell medals from bullets from powerups. Things move fast, but it all just flies by with little meaning. There's better games in this genre on this platform far more deserving of your time.

I would write a longer review, but the trailer to Rangok Skies is very self explanatory. If watching it gets you pumped, the game delivers. If an over the top shmup isn't your thing, there is nothing in Rangok Skies that will convince you. I fall into the first category, and instantly knew the game was a winner within 10 seconds of seeing the first trailer. Looks great, sounds great, pure chaos. It seems slightly hard and unfair at first, but when you realize how many tools the game gives you to deal with the hurricane of bullets (bombs, defensive special, 3 hits per life, life refill powerups) and how frequently the game refreshes those tools, it feels tuned appropriately. I am average at shmups and made it to the last boss on my second game, so I would consider the difficulty balanced (although there are no selectable difficulty levels). I really enjoy the soundtrack and character voices. The adrenaline is cranked to 11. The graphics are bright, colorful, and impactful. Under c...

Other than the game being a complete visual clusterfuck 100% of the time, it's pretty decent. The visual overload is just too much for me though and removes all possible fun. to paraphrase what another reviewer said, there is so much on the screen it is hard to really care about any of it. It's not just "too many bullets". It's all of the other shit happening on top of that. Smoke/fire effects everywhere, 100's of pickups dropping every second, all of the text popups for points, bombs, powerups, etc.

I gave a fair shake at the game, and overall I would say that there is a good game here somewhere marred by a myriad of tiny issues rather than one large thing that brings the whole experience down. In no particular order: *The sound/music of this game is fundamentally screwed and the biggest thing that detracts from everything. No matter how much I tried to mess with sound or music volume, something was always too loud and drowning out the other making me feel like I'm listening to vague white noise half the time. *A lot of the sound/music is old free to use stuff you've heard since the 90's or licensed from Heaven Variant. Some of this music is legitimately good, but something feels off like the music is peaking or the riffs are so loud that it drowns out everything else. *This shmup is the biggest cluster**** when it comes to visibility in general, sparkles from point pickups rain down, some enemy bullets change color between red and blue, some bullets are missiles that can't ...

This could have been an amazing game, but the developer's ego ruined it; Just provide unlimited continues. This way if a player is hardcore; they don't continue and they can get on the leaderboards. If a player just wants to have fun and doesn't care about leaderboards etc, they can continue and enjoy the entire game. (And subsequently buy another game sooner). I don't want to play your game a 1000 times or practise levels to play the whole game... Developer; get over yourself/ your game.
