  • Engaging gameplay with a variety of characters, each offering unique abilities and playstyles, enhancing replayability.
  • High-quality graphics and sound design, creating an immersive experience reminiscent of classic shmups.
  • Well-implemented upgrade system that adds depth without overwhelming players, making it accessible for newcomers and challenging for veterans.
  • Some levels are perceived as too short, leading to a feeling of insufficient content despite the replay value.
  • Issues with performance on higher refresh rate monitors, causing gameplay to become unplayable without adjustments.
  • The story elements feel tacked on and unnecessary, detracting from the core gameplay experience.
  • story
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is described as a decent but somewhat cliché element that serves as a backdrop to the gameplay, with players unlocking narrative fragments through character progression and higher difficulty levels. While some reviewers appreciate the inventive aspects and engaging music, others feel the story is tacked on and not essential to the overall experience. Overall, it provides a modern homage to classic shmup games, with a campaign mode that adds depth without overshadowing the arcade-style gameplay.

    • “Overall a fun time and I'm genuinely surprised at how slept on this game seems to be, as it is the only modern take on the Psikyo style shmup that I've played and it does a really good job of emulating the style while adding a bit more content with a modern euroshmuppy campaign/story mode that doesn't interfere with a pure arcade-style experience if that's more to your liking.”
    • “Its inventive story and stellar music and art helped to really set it apart and keep it engaging for someone who is admittedly a casual bullet-hell fan.”
    • “When you play as the characters in the campaign, you unlock bits of story for each, and you have to play harder difficulties in order to unlock more of the story.”
    • “There is a story, but it's the most tacked on and cliché thing I've ever seen.”
    • “There is not much of a story, and the voice acting, while actually not that bad, sometimes skips subtitles that pop up.”
    • “[h1] Anger Force is a bullet hell that spends all of its efforts on scraps of story and grinding progression mechanics.”
  • gameplay
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is highly praised for its smoothness, variety, and engaging mechanics, with players enjoying the distinct playstyles of the four characters and the balance between challenge and accessibility. The game features tight hit detection, a wealth of unlockable content, and a vibrant aesthetic that enhances the overall experience. While some find the pace fast and unforgiving, the combination of fun mechanics, a great soundtrack, and detailed level design contributes to a compelling gameplay experience.

    • “Excellent shooter with great gameplay and interesting characters!”
    • “The four characters play very differently from one another, which is great to mix up gameplay.”
    • “The music is awesome, the gameplay is awesome, the animations are awesome, the hitbox detection is super tight and accurate, there is a plethora of permanent upgrades to unlock just by playing, and the attention to detail in each level and boss stage is impressive.”
    • “Anger Force is a bullet hell that spends all of its efforts on scraps of story and grinding progression mechanics.”
    • “Gameplay is far too fast and unforgiving.”
    • “It managed to house a lot of content through its unlocks: none of these unlocks upgraded characters, but they did show progress by either helping players get familiar with mechanics (like combo chains) or giving new characters that offered new ways to play.”
  • graphics
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in Angerforce: Reloaded are widely praised for their smoothness and vibrant cartoon art style, reminiscent of 90's Saturday morning cartoons. Reviewers highlight the sharp visuals and cel-shaded character designs, noting that the artwork enhances the overall experience and sets it apart from typical retro pixel graphics. Overall, the game's graphics contribute significantly to its appeal, complementing the engaging gameplay and sound design.

    • “Great graphics and sound, multiple characters to play as with diverse shot types and skills, a lengthy campaign mode with higher difficulty levels to unlock and points to acquire to use on upgrades, an arcade mode that lets you play the 7 stages completely straight without the meta-upgrade system, a decent story, etc.”
    • “Angerforce: Reloaded is a great bullet hell shmup with a nice cartoon graphics style.”
    • “The artwork screams 90's Saturday morning cartoons; I sometimes swear I hear Skeletor in the background laughing.”
    • “The developers hired artists instead of churning out retro pixel graphics, giving the game a tolerable, stylized look.”
    • “The graphics are so clean!”
  • music
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its engaging and dynamic quality, enhancing the overall experience during epic boss fights and various levels. While most tracks are well-received, some users noted a specific disappointment with the boss music in stage 2. Overall, the soundtrack, combined with sharp graphics and tight gameplay, contributes significantly to the game's appeal.

    • “Epic multi-layered boss fights and an amazing soundtrack.”
    • “Its inventive story and stellar music and art helped to really set it apart and keep it engaging for someone who is admittedly a casual bullet-hell fan.”
    • “That has a lot of meat, great soundtrack, killer 90's cartoon throwback art and tight gameplay mechanics, you are in for a treat!”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players note that "Anger Force" heavily emphasizes grinding progression mechanics, often at the expense of its narrative, leading to a gameplay experience that feels repetitive and focused more on resource collection than storytelling.

    • “Anger Force is a bullet hell that spends all of its efforts on scraps of story and grinding progression mechanics.”
    • “The grinding in this game feels endless and tedious, making it hard to stay engaged.”
    • “I found myself repeating the same tasks over and over, which made the experience feel more like a chore than fun.”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Despite a short completion time of around 23 minutes for all seven levels, players find the replay value to be exceptionally high, suggesting that the game offers engaging content that encourages multiple playthroughs.

    • “It wouldn't take more than 23 minutes to do a full run through all seven levels, but the replay value of them is insane.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is reminiscent of 90's Saturday morning cartoons, with a playful and nostalgic tone that evokes memories of characters like Skeletor, adding a lighthearted and whimsical atmosphere to the experience.

    • “The artwork screams 90's Saturday morning cartoons; I sometimes swear I hear Skeletor laughing in the background.”
