New York, NY (Top40 Charts) More than evade and shot. Endocrisis is a technical shoot 'em up. You can absorb enemy bullets and other ones you have to block, so you have to think about the best decision to make each time.
You no have lives, but wait!
It is common to see on a classical "shoot'em up" that you lost a life if anything hit you. On Endocrisis, instead, you have an energy bar. If you get a hit with over >70% of energy, you will launch a bomb, and your power will go to 0%. You can recover your energy back by absorbing the yellow bullets, so you can always recover from dangerous situations instead of seeing a game over screen.
Is not a easy game but is fair
On Endocrisis, almost all attacks are patterns to learn quickly, so it is clear to know what was wrong when you fail. The pattern of the first boss is a wave of shots, of ones that can be absorbed and others that cannot.
The concept of an "unfair" loss is when you don't know what kills you, like a super-fast shot that comes from nowhere, and then you have to try all again. That is unfair because you don't do anything wrong on Endocrisis; you will not see that kind of attack.
Why is it different from a classic shoot'em up?
Block and absorb enemy shots! that is the main difference.
You can recover your power by absorbing the yellow enemy shots or stay on defense mode to recover energy slowly.
To activate the defense mode and block bullets, stop shooting, and armor will cover you. If you take hits on this mode, your energy will decrease a bit instead to 0%
All that makes Endocrisis a game that you can always recover from a complex situation if you concentrate and use the technic of block and absorb
While you are shooting, your energy power will decrease. With that, your amount of shots, so you have to recover it by constantly absorbing bullets. So you have to know when being offensive or defensive.
All bosses of the game will require the player to dominate this technic of defense and offense. Endocrisis requires being precise at the moment of absorption because you will be invincible just for an instant. If you make a miscalculation, the bullet will hit you instead of absorbing it.
You can continue your progress.
You can always continue or try it again quickly without the requirement to pass all levels. Endocrisis features a map. You can fight direct to each boss or stage and save your progress so that you can continue later.
