Time to cancel some bullets so I can catch my breathīefore discussing more about its gameplay, I must say that DoDonPachi Resurrection is one great-looking and sounding shmup. Meanwhile, you get a stock of bombs that you can automatically deploy whenever you're about to get hit which is great for genre newcomers because this can be one tough shmup.

Speaking of which, your hyper gauge gradually fills and once it's full, you can enter hyper mode to become more powerful and have the ability to cancel any enemy attack by alternating between the 2 shot types. For example, the latter is slower and can halt enemy lasers mid-stream while the former can cancel projectiles whenever you're in hyper mode. On a basic level, you alternate between a turbo shot and a steady laser shot which each have their own advantages. Now, that should be more than enough on its own for any serious shmup player, especially considering just how tight and responsive the controls are. However, I will admit right off the bat that I didn't enjoy it quite as much as I did Espgaluda II with its intricate difficulty and scoring mechanics as DoDonPachi Resurrection mostly opts to play it safe with tried and true core gameplay and of course, thrilling action-packed stages that provide a hearty challenge. I love CAVE shoot 'em ups and have enjoyed a couple previous entries in the DonPachi franchise as I own both DonPachi and DoDonPachi for PS1 but I've never played DoDonPachi Resurrection and it's quite a modern marvel. Is anything cooler than bosses that transform? It's absolutely awesome that CAVE's library of shmups is being ported to Switch and genre fans can now enjoy DoDonPachi Resurrection. Maciejewski playing a Nintendo Switch on November 28, 2021 It was still a mystery as to why Hibachi came back on its own, or why any of the old DonPachi machines had reactivated.Reviewed by A.J. Nevertheless, Hibachi was once again destroyed, and its computer network shut down. Having upgraded since its last outing thousands of years ago, it unleashed devastating barrages upon its foe, hoping to overwhelm the Pliot and his Element Doll with neverending volleys of firepower. After the destruction of Koryu, Hibachi unleashed itself and attacked. Hastily responding to the crisis, a new incarnation of the DonPachi Corps was assembled, and they sent a lone Pilot accompanied by an Element Doll (whether this be Shotia, Leinyan or EXY is up to the player) to drive away the mechanized hordes controlled by Hibachi.Īfter destroying its four most powerful machines (Suzaku, Byakko, Genbu and Seiryu), The Pilot and his Element Doll eventually tracked Hibachi itself down to the cave network and confronted it within its new containment unit, Koryu, which immediately attacked and even attempted to escape via jets.

Breaking out of the caves, Hibachi's automated army attacked the defenseless colony of Lunapolis, the sole settlement on the Moon. Upon reactivating itself, Hibachi installed its intelligence into a computer network and took control of the once-dormant machines on the Moon. The Pilot engaged in a final dogfight with Hibachi, and destroyed the killing machine after a sustained battle, killing Longhener in the process.įollowing the tremendous battle, the remaining technology created by the genocidal army Longhener had under his command were transported to the Moon and sealed within an ancient cave network.Ī thousand years after the events of DoDonPachi, the war machines on the Moon began to mysteriously reactivate, and the remains of Hibachi were mysteriously stored in a brand-new containment unit, where it was subject to repairs. The Pilot destroyed Hachi, and Longhener piloted Hibachi itself out of the critically damaged bee mecha. The Pilot successfully made his way into the DonPachi Corps HQ, where Longhener stated his disgust with the Pilot's actions, and then made to destroy him by piloting Hachi, Hibachi's containment unit, into battle. After being deceived by Colonel Schwarlitz Longhener into destroying the lost fleet of the DonPachi Corps, the Pilot set out to take down the mad Colonel as the latter sent out his elite fleet to deal with the former. Hibachi made its first true appearance in DoDonPachi as the true final boss. The Pilot destroyed Taisabachi and became an elite member of the DonPachi Corps. Hibachi itself was not present in DonPachi, but a prototype called Taisabachi (Colonel Bee in English) was created as the final enemy the Pilot was meant to face as the last part of his training, which involved slaughtering thousands of his comrades to become a super-human pilot.
