This makes me want to give it another crack. I did... alright, but I don't think I was properly using the absorb mechanic, and... I might try leaving the speed all the way up as well. Just never felt like I was able to get totally into a groove, and ended up relying an reaction too much, and not enough pure memorization... though I think this game mixes up its pattern a bit each time, right? ...anyway What's the best option between these: Pro Controller (Stick or D pad), Hori Real Arcade... etc. fight stick, or SNES style controller?
You get the bad ending by clearing Very Easy or using continues on the other difficulties. You see the "good" ending by clearing Very Hard in 1 credit, and you get the alternate ending (shown in the video) by clearing Expert in 1 credit.
@@Chloroxite Most old school arcade shmups had really bad endings for the characters if you got the true ending. Characters sacrificing themselves, end of the world and all your efforts were for naught, that type of stuff. Many games in the cave series for example did that. Not sure if last resort (a game that clearly inspired this game) had a bad ending, but it's actually super common when you get into the genre.
Had this a while but just started playing it. What a great shooter.
Hoo, that Boss 4 strategy tho, nice.
Love these types of games, but they are HARD
What if u could Beat Devil Engine with Pacifism?

19:01 Can we talk about how insanely well made the devs making the parallax scroll transition.
That's ... not the ending I remembered. I didn't know this game had more than one, what are the conditions for a bad and a good end ?

@@KiwiSTG Oh, I thought that was the Bad Ending right there. Thanks for the answer anyways.
I don't see why clearing on expert should grant you seemingly the worst ending but ok then...

There isn't second loop on expert?
What even affects which ending you get.
You ever Run again ?
