![]() ![]() The Grim Reaper is – in my opinion – the best character to start with, simply due to her attacks literally covering the screen. Each of the game’s two characters offer slightly different attacks and powers. Shikhondo allows you to channel slower movement so that you’re not darting from corner to corner, which comes in especially useful when you’re expected to maneuver through some compact scenarios. It takes a bit of time to get into the flow of the game, but once there, you’ll be praying, spraying and dodging like there’s no tomorrow. Enemies will constantly pepper you with a dizzying amount of attacks, but in-turn, your chosen character is more than capable at returning fire. The game’s combat is relatively fast-paced. ![]() It’s a shame, really, because if anything, Shikhondo performs quite well. When you’re done here, however, there are other modes to jump into, but I argue that you’ll just be doing the same thing under slightly varying rule-sets. The game’s main mode consists of only five levels in total, taking somewhere in the region of ninety minutes to complete. Players are positioned at the lower screen, shooting vertically towards the upper screen. Much to be expected, you’ll fly around the game outputting damage and avoiding incoming fire. Players take on the role of either the Grim Reaper (not what you think) or The Girl (yes, that’s her in-game name) as you fight against hordes of demonic enemies to ultimately come out on top. It can be a soul sucking experience that just doesn’t evolve enough to keep inline with its overall pace, making for a game that feels empty and half-baked. I’ll start by saying that Soul Eater can oftentimes feel like a fitting title, though, for all the wrong reasons. Shikhondo – Soul Eater is a bullet hell shoot ’em up, one that aims to stand out from the crowd, but somewhat fails to do so. No, this isn’t going to fare too well, but we’ll get to that shortly. Now, at first glance, I was head over heels to see its announcement, and then, I played it. This week, on the other hand, we’re seeing the arrival of Shikhondo – Soul Eater, a game from Korean-based developer DeerFarm. There’s no denying that on Xbox One, games from the East rarely come to the West, or at least in comparison to the frequency seen on other platforms. ![]()
