Aeternum

Guys, help out, my wife said if there are 300 thumbs up and 50 awards, then she will buy me a new PC and a case of beer is NOT a SCAM!!!!!

An diamond in the rough, Aeternum is a western made shmup that could not borrow more from Touhou in style or design. You play a demon girl (And later a couple of other characters) flying through a school, blasting trash enemies, dodging huge piles of bullets with a tiny hitbox, and meeting a quirky anime girl, with whom communications immediately break down a fight starts. The bosses have timed and scored patterns with bonuses for clearing them successfully without getting hit, as well as time out options to support the game's pacifist mode, but the trippy visuals when they engage them is pure Touhou. Enemies drop power items that boost your power, which also doubles as your bombs, and of course there's a Touhou style autocollect line if you can advance far enough on the screen. Dangerous but rewarding. This game doesn't really WANT to murder you though; bosses drop a full bomb's worth of power each pattern you clear. And if that's not enough, on Story mode you get nearly infinite ret...

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could pla...

Absolutely fantastic game. Good mechanics and enjoyable gameplay. I had this title on the Xbox Indie market back in the day and was happy to rebuy it.

Nice game with some trippy background transitions, the soundtrack alone is worth the price of admission if you like chiptune. Edit: This review used to link to the soundtrack on bandcamp, but it doesn't seem to be there anymore as of the time of update. Fortunately, the soundtrack is free through steam under the games dlc section.

since nobody will read the reviews, i’ll say in this review i’m gay and i love crossdressing as a femboy

I enjoy the soundtrack the most. The game itself, it is very well made. I'm not very good at danmaku/bullet hell games, but with the shield system, it's perfect! I don't really have any major gripes with it, honestly. Other than it's still programmed for 360 buttons on the tutorial and text boxes, but that's honestly not a huge issue. Pick up if you enjoy side-scrolling shootemups, wild happy music and magic storylines!! If it doesn't have it, could use a co-op option!
