    Players will have to figure out the game's controls for themselves, with only a simple button map as guidance, but they'll soon find the learning curve bends in their favor, and and gamers will quickly accelerate from petty rankings to the top charts-at least until a higher difficulty knocks their confidence out of whack.

    Really, though, at $5.99, I can ignore the game's problems and enjoy it for what it is: a unique idea with some fun "bullet hell" action and a heavy dose of Japanese flair. It isn't the prettiest or the longest game, but I had fun with Acceleration of Suguri: X Edition.

    A delicious mix of arena fighting and bullet-hell chaos wins out over weak presentation in this action battler.

    This frantic fighter/shoot-'em-up hybrid is chock full of explosive content, but its distinctly Japanese tone and uneven production values may put off some gamers.

    Street Fighter with bullets or a one-on-one 2D shooter, whichever way you look at it this hombrew download is an intriguing oddity.

    While I wouldn't say that Acceleration of Suguri X Edition has any kind of staying power as a fighting game nor even the content to hold anyone's attention for more than a few hours, at least it is an interesting mix of genres and occasionally a visual treat with flashy, screen-filling attacks.

    ASX is a fun, throwaway distraction. It certainly cannot compete with 'real' fighting games, but its charm, music and 'nuttier than squirrel poo' storylines help it stand out a bit.

    It's very one-note stuff. [May 2011, p.91]

    As you alternate furiously between confusion and excitement, the explosive gaggle never lets up even for a moment. You'll launch a curtain of certain death, dash, homing missile strike, dash. Dash dash. Laser in the face. Die! WHY WON'T YOU DIE?

    Just mildly incomprehensible. [May 2011, p.118]

Though overall this is a really fun game to come back to playing again and again. Goofy story to it but that's it's charm along with character interaction in the story modes. The game play seems to have a rather strange learning curve with various ways of attacking your opponent depending on both who you are and your opponent with mixed variety of bullet types and melee attacks, but I don't think it's a bad thing, just that there's something about the battle physics that needs polishing. The soundtrack itself though is pretty neat. I grew found of various character's themes as I played them. Hey for a good $6, I couldn't go wrong. I bought it as a bundle with it's prequel for $10 however which was worth it in my opinion.… Full Review »
