Strike Buster Prototype review: A delightful take on Bulletstorm.
I just played Stroke Buster Prototype while participating in the Pocket Playfest event by TapTap and boy, was it pretty good. The game another rouguelike Bulletstorm game just like 20 Minutes Till Dawn, Survivor IO, or the classic Vampire Survivors. You fly around in space, you have three weapons, bullet, laser and Tesla, countless hoards of enemies are swarming upto you, and it is upto you and your three weapons to survive as long as you can.
Different from the classic hp system, this game has an energy system. You refill your energy when defeating enemies, and you lose energy when you get hit. When it reaches zero, you die. You can obviously regain lost energy by defeating more enemies (so kind of like permanent lifesteal, yay! ). However when you hit the limit of energy, you go into something like a super Saiyan mode with increased firing rate and stuff. So even if you can get back your life when you get hit, it is in your best interest to stay at full health (or energy) as long as you can.
Music, graphics, controls etc. are just like other Bulletstorm games, with enemies dropping upgrades and relics which makes you more powerful. There is a boss timer that counts down and when it hits zero, a boss appears. The game is pretty challenging and you will die very early the first few rounds. But it gets really really satisfying once you get the hang of it and gets some powerful upgrades up your sleeve.
Overall , it's pretty delightful game and you should definitely try it if you liked other games like vampire Survivors and 20 minutes till dawn.
Have a great day guys :)
