Shogun: Bullet Hell Shooter

I haven't seen too many worthwhile manic shooters on Android, but the control scheme on this one feels the most natural. It runs well and looks great on both my phone and my tablet. It's no Giga Wing, but it's the best Android shooter I've played so far.

It's a good game. Challenging which isn't bad really. I got up to 3 boss and died lol. It worked great on my DROID 2 but I recently upgraded to the galaxy s4. It still works but it doesn't use the whole screen. Like others said, can you release a high res version? thx.

Excellent controls and performance. Amazing visuals, great very challenging but intelligent gameplay. This is exactly what I've been looking for! People also need to figure out the center part of the plane is the only part that can get hit, nubs. Only for true gamers.

Finally beat the last boss! Shogun is a thing of beauty. It's a very well designed game. One of the two best top down shooters in the Google App Store. (The other one is Xelorians). It's tough as hell, but so rewarding once you get the hang of it. I like how the game sees when you're doing very well, then the score turns red and it gets even tougher!

The game is awesome. The design, the graphics all great. But as 90% + of the people who try this game say, it is to freaking hard! I'm pretty sure I'll pass lvl 2 soon but it's to hard for nearly all of us. More levels and difficulty settings and I'd give it 5 stars.

If you have the Samsung galaxy note and use the stylus this game is f-n epic. Absolutely exquisite gameplay and controls. Best hardcore game in the Google play store. Closet thing to porn available in the market!

Simply amazing especially compared to similar games. top notch art and music polished nicely, but hard. Might be difficult for some people to get into, unless your also a top notch gamer. Edit* game is messed up on my note 4.

Great to see a good game done right. I was a bit reluctant to try since im not really a big fan of bullet hell games. But the controls/features make this game incredibly fun

Gorgeous game! Kicks into expert mode after the first level, so don't be surprised if you suck right away. Demo made me feel like a champ. Despite that, its tons of fun and I'll keep coming back.

This game is awesome theres no other way to put it. So many complain about the difficulty well this game is for REAL SKILL GAMERS for the ONES WHO ENJOY CHALLENGING GAMES. brings me old memories of my childhood. They should definitely add more levels for this game.

Kills me when I see games like asphalt, candy crush and angry turds with millions of downloads - and mini masterpieces like this with less than a percent of that.

When I play the game and I want to move the ship to the right is not working. Maybe is a compatibility problems because the size of the screen ? Maybe. ? Please fix it. Thanks.

The game only work in a small box in the top left on the Nexus 10. I'm pretty sure the developers have not tested the game on Googles flagship 10 inch tablet device

On a QHD phone, the entire playfield only takes up 25% of the screen. The rest of the screen is all unused assets and objects being loaded in/out of memory. This should be a simple fix

The best of its kind available on the android or apple stores. Graphics, features, everything. WARNING: It *is* really tough with no easy mode. It's ain't bullet hell if less than 95% of the screen is bullets.

Try the demo before you buy, only the hardcore need apply. If you can handle (or even recognize) Castle Shikigami, Ikaruga, Radirgy, Radiant Silvergun or any other games that demand your skills and punish your lack of them, this is for you. Fantastic stuff. I, for one would like Bluetooth controller support, but I am happy with what I have here. Great stuff.

The dead zone bar is forced out, half the screen is not usable above the dead zone, some of the right hand side of the screen is unusable. And everything is really small. This makes a really fun game I loved on my older device unplayable. I sent an email and got no response, but from reading these reviews I'm certainly not alone. Please fix this game. :(

Beautiful graphics, and great sound. Doesn't even punish you with terrible touch screen controls! UPDATE: Seriously flawed on 1080p screens. Plus the game has been abandoned by the developers.

Frustrating as s*%t! just like a bullet hell Shmup should be. Some of the best pixel work ive seen since Dodonpachi. The entropy engines a great touch too.

I had read through most of the comments and most of you said it was hard. I tried it myself and it was extremely hard indeed. Another issues is that there's only 4 stages in this game, and i couldn't even get through stage 2. That being said. The game does have good graphic and control.

Easy mode is for elementary school babies! OK but seriously, this is a great game of you are a fan of games like Touhou. Yes, it's difficult, but what do you expect from a bullet hell shooter.

Is broken, everything is too small and the screen is cut off, makes it really hard to play on newer devices

Stands with some of the greats, ikaruga, donpachi and the like. Hope we see more levels soon!!!!! Well done. Update: I stand by my review but I'm disappointed that the devs have still not updated this game to work hd

Aso ive played this game on a few tablets an extensively on my s4 (had the #1 score for city in orlando for a while) once you turn on the static buttons and the visiable hit box in the options its one of my favorite phone games. Sadly it's not working as well on my s6. It renders pass the intended area of play and evrything is super tiny. EDIT if you have an s6 you can run game tuner (via the Samsung galaxy apps) set the resolution to low and it fixes this problem.

Wow the toughness of this game is insane, how am I supposed to pass the stage, when the the whole screen is filled with bullets? It reminds me to Strike 1945, in the arcade version, pretty cool, keep it up, WTG.

The points system is amazing as well. If you're skilled enough to dodge all the shots, they give you more sub bosses, and your point multiplier goes up. Global rankings are really nice, especially seeing your own rank rise, I was ranked 3, 5, and 11 on different maps in my region (NY/NYC). This game is HARD though. Don't expect simplicity. Edit. Sucks now, no scores, and as others say takes 1/2 the screen. Sad I was gonna recommend to all my friends to see who can do best. Another great game destroyed.

As a fan of bullet he'll games, I'm very pleased at how well this game was designed with the touch interface in mind. This game is very challenging and fast-paced, and has great graphics and music. The boss battles feature intricate patterns of bullets that take a keen eye and quick reflexes to weave through. The player must learn to utilize all the weapons at their disposal, and a "graze" risk to refuel shields and power. Very reminiscent of better-known bullet hell shooters, and very fun. Droid Charge.

Try the demo first to see if you can pass the 1st level without raging! It is a very good game, but it is as good as it is difficult for a tablet. There is a fine line between challenge and frustration, and most players will cross it back and forth many times in this game, which makes it unpleasant to play. Some times even my hand (the controls) bothers me, which feels unfair and ruins the experience. I will give it 5 stars because of its awesomeness, but I am uninstalling for now. FOR DEVS: Please give us the option to select the difficulty level!

I was beginning to think xelorians was the only top notch vertical shmup on android. this is definately on the same level. even faster action (too fast!?) than xelorians. its a definate must have if you play scrolling shooters on mobile devices. the weapon and shield gameplay mechanics are original and add an extra dynamic to the game and i love that this game uses "grazing" to replenish your shield. very cool. control is very tight and everything moves super smooth.

Big fan of 90s arcaded genres and this fits the bill. Not working on request tab 8.9 though:/

Insanely difficult at times but got to admit it beats playing higher end games that basically baby you the whole way! Awesome game period! Idk y people complain so much these games r meant to b this difficult barely passed in a 2 days! Effing awesome!

Also find this crazy difficult ... gotta remember were playing with a finger ... not a remote controller. Fun ... but very hard for a phone ... might be better for a tablet.

Easily the best bullet hell app in the android market. For people complaining about how hard it is, play other danmaku games (Touhou), then come back to this one. It is difficult because of the touch screen but that didn't stop me. =P

You can play it on the nexus 10, but it only uses a quarter of the screen and the backgrounds are scaled all wrong. 5 stars on my Note, but needs an update for higher res screens. If fixed, it's 5 stars across the board.

This is one of the best shooters I've played in years. Very intuitive controls, surprisingly unique gameplay, and balls hard. I don't know how to make the leader board know i'm USA and not unknown country...still a five star game.

Demo rocked! Buying now. Thanks guys/gals. This is the best shooter on android. Awesome controls. Very fun.

Those who expected "hold my hand" difficulty have clearly never heard of the bullet hell genre. It's supposed to be tough. Anyway, this game is more than worth 2.50. I have finished all the levels, but have yet to do a full run, still plenty more hours to get out of this one. Excellent game
