    I love SHMUP games. Project Root brings back many of the things that made playings games super fun in the late 90s. Not an easy game to play, but that´s what I expect from these type of games. Really enjoyed it.

    The gameplay is dull and repetitive, the story is worthless, the sound design is so generic it could work anywhere, and there’s next to no replayability.

    Although several of its elements still need some work, I like what Project Root is trying to do overall, and I appreciated the effort to blend non-traditional elements into the shmup genre. There's a lot of potential for the free-roaming shooting, leveling-up, and dual-layer combat, but none of it is quite there yet.

    A nice concept with just one too many issues to make it worthwhile.
