    Barrage Fantasia may be a bit no-frills as an overall package, but the core game is rock solid: a retro-styled bullet hell that knows what makes the genre work and leans into that. It doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel, but packs enough of its own ideas to feel unique, with stylish pixel art and cute, eccentric character designs to top it all off.

    The variety of loadouts make it a solid pick-up for veterans and newcomers, but the absence of online leaderboards and sometimes obtuse localization do hold it back to a degree. Sifting through the barrage of eShop entries in the genre, I would certainly put this in the upper half of shoot-’em-ups on Switch.

    If you enjoy shoot 'em ups but aren't a hardcore fan of the genre then you might appreciate what Barrage Fantasia has in store for you.

    A short but fun and cute shoot ‘em up that will appeal to fans of the genre -provided they do not mind its short duration.
