Shikhondo: Soul Eater

Shikhondo - Soul Eater is a visually unique and very enjoyable shmup. That's really all there needs to be said. It's not as if there's some riveting plot or a fantastic ending to look forward to. In fact, the story is basically non-existent. Perhaps, instead of filling the screen with words, the developer chose to cram in some more bullets. That's fine - wonderful even. There aren't any distractions to keep players from performing their best. If the idea of navigating a sometimes literal maze of death grabs you, then consider giving this a go.
"Shikhondo: Soul Eater" is a shoot 'em up game with an oriental background and unique stage bosses. Play as a Grim Reaper or girl, seeking out escaped yokai from limbo to reseal them and release the absorbed souls. With three game modes, players are encouraged to play close to enemy bullet hell to increase scores in Soul Collect mode.
