Acceleration of SUGURI 2

Acceleration of Suguri 2 succeeds by having the complexity of a fighting game while rewarding quick thinking, reaction speed and dexterity. Behind a rather gentle looking exterior is a punishingly difficult game that pits bullet-hell fans against each other. If you’re new to the scene, this perhaps isn’t the best introduction (definitely check out the original Suguri game to get accustomed to the core mechanics!) but if you’re burnt out on fighters and want to try something different, Acceleration of Suguri 2 is a well made and compelling foray sure to scratch that competitive itch.

  • Unique blend of fighting game and bullet hell mechanics offers an intense and fast-paced experience.
  • Diverse cast of characters each with distinct playstyles adds strategic depth and replayability.
  • Strong online multiplayer with rollback netcode and active community enhance the competitive appeal.
  • Steep learning curve and lack of a proper interactive tutorial make it hard for new players to get into.
  • Balance issues and some overpowered characters can lead to frustrating and uneven fights.
  • The story mode is minimal and not well developed, with little connection for players unfamiliar with previous games.

  • story

    127 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    10% positive mentions, 81% neutral mentions, 9% negative mentions

    The story mode is generally seen as brief, minimal, and mainly serving to provide context for characters rather than delivering a compelling or standalone narrative. Many reviewers note it is better appreciated by players familiar with the game's previous installments, as newcomers often find it confusing and lacking depth. Overall, the story is considered secondary to the gameplay, with most players valuing the game's mechanics and multiplayer modes over its plot.

    • “The story mode has different dialogues based on the character that you played, so you need to play all characters to see everything.”
    • “About the story, it's pretty entertaining, and it's likely it will get a laugh or two from you, it also got its serious moments.”
    • “The plot and character background of each character in the game's story mode is at a bare minimum as the focus of this game is still mainly on the arcade gameplay.”
    • “The story mode has no meaningful plot and only consists of a couple of dialogue lines between a character and the final boss and second last boss.”
    • “If you want to play the game for the story, it is okay I guess.”
    • “I'm really interested in this game because I thought there's a story but there isn't one.”

  • gameplay

    91 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    20% positive mentions, 77% neutral mentions, 3% negative mentions

    The gameplay uniquely blends fighting game mechanics with bullet hell elements, offering a fast-paced, intense experience that is both accessible for newcomers and deep enough for mastery. Though the controls and mechanics can be initially confusing and learning curves steep, the polished systems—such as the heat mechanic balancing offense and defense—and varied character playstyles provide satisfying combat and strategic depth. Some issues include occasional imbalance, lack of extensive tutorials, and frustrating mechanics that may hinder competitive play, but overall it stands out for its solid foundation and engaging, refreshing gameplay.

    • “Unique concept blending fighting and bullet hell gameplay.”
    • “Its unique characters, fast-paced gameplay, and well-designed mechanics make it stand out from other fighting games, while its range of game modes and challenges provide a good amount of content and replayability.”
    • “The mechanics are simple enough for anyone to pick up and have a casual game with a friend, but complex enough to take a while to master each character's strengths and weaknesses.”
    • “Generic story and art style, confusing controls, and overly complicated gameplay.”
    • “The devs didn't care enough about the game to either ease you into it or tell you anything through gameplay, so there's no reason you should care either.”
    • “With 100+ hours of gameplay, I still can't understand a single character.”

  • music

    62 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    53% positive mentions, 41% neutral mentions, 6% negative mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised for its energetic, nostalgic, trance-techno style that perfectly complements the fast-paced, anime-inspired gameplay. Many players appreciate the catchy, upbeat soundtrack, often recommending the DLC soundtracks for additional quality tracks, though a few found it repetitive or occasionally too loud. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a standout aspect that significantly enhances the game’s atmosphere and enjoyment.

    • “It's a stylish bullet hell fighter with some of the most nostalgic 2000's feeling music I've heard in ages.”
    • “The music's also quite nice, featuring a good trance-techno score by Deku with styles from Suguri and Sora; it feels right for a fighting game like this, including some of the more relaxed pieces.”
    • “What's also nice about this re-release is the inclusion of extra tracks from the Realism and Suguri the Best soundtracks via DLCs, which feature remixes of various songs from the Suguri series.”
    • “Overall, janky controls and headache-inducing music are enough to put all but die-hard fans of this game franchise off the idea completely.”
    • “Music's not great, the writing's not great, the art is cluttered.”
    • “The final boss again felt really cheap and featured the worst music of the game by far.”

  • graphics

    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    26% positive mentions, 55% neutral mentions, 19% negative mentions

    The graphics are generally described as competent but not outstanding, with a cute and colorful art style that fits the fast-paced gameplay. While some users find the visuals appealing and improved over predecessors, others consider them generic, dated, or lacking emotional depth. Overall, the artwork is charming but not a standout feature of the game.

    • “The game's visuals and sound design are both excellent, with a bright and colorful art style and a catchy soundtrack that sets the tone for its fast and intense gameplay.”
    • “Visually-speaking, acceleration of Suguri 2 has made great strides from its predecessor like Sora has to Suguri, and it has only gotten better thanks to this overseas re-release's support for HD resolutions and higher resolution graphics.”
    • “The aesthetic is also really adorable.”
    • “There's no cool artwork or images carrying anything forward either, just face pics that don't even change emotions.”
    • “The controls are junk, the story mode is horrible, the graphics are dated, the repetitiveness is obnoxious, the game is a pass even if on sale.”
    • “Graphically it is nothing special.”

  • humor

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is generally lighthearted and tongue-in-cheek, with funny character interactions and playful customization elements like amusing titles. While not a major focus, the humor adds charm and occasional wit, enhancing the overall experience without being a primary draw.

    • “Yet the game also manages to insert doses of tongue-in-cheek humor in most of the girls' storyline, one of which features a few girls' story arcs fighting each other to see which is the cutest girl out there.”
    • “+ Customization is very small but the titles, backgrounds, and character portraits you can use add to having a more unique profile from other players. It's fun to have titles like "free hugs" and "sham is my waifu," which add a little humor to the online experience.”
    • “Some character interactions were particularly cute and funny, while others inspired a bit of deeper emotion through different themes.”

  • replayability

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The game offers solid replayability through its unique characters, fast-paced gameplay, and diverse game modes that encourage experimentation. However, some players find certain challenges, like the difficult boss and mandatory completion requirements, frustrating rather than rewarding, which may detract from the overall replay value for some.

    • “Its unique characters, fast-paced gameplay, and well-designed mechanics make it stand out from other fighting games, while its range of game modes and challenges provide a good amount of content and replayability.”
    • “It adds some replay value and gives you reasons to experiment.”
    • “The intense battles with tight gameplay offer a high replay value.”
    • “Not sure if it has much replayability but... this shouldn't matter!”
    • “One of the cheesiest bosses in fighting game history for no reason, and you have to beat the story with all characters on normal at least with no retries, or you don't get the last character. Bad way to increase replay value; it only increases frustration.”
    • “Not all matchups are that bad, not gonna lie, and most of them are playable, but that may be hella hard.”

  • optimization

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 20% negative mentions

    The game is generally well-optimized, offering good multiplayer performance and smooth online play, though occasional slowdowns may occur in visually intense scenes. It also provides extensive PC customization options, including full key and controller rebindings, enhancing the overall experience.

    • “The multiplayer aspect of this game is well-optimized.”
    • “Add to that good online performance and PC customization options including full rebindings for keyboard or controllers, and you have a game worthy of the highest recommendation.”
    • “Performance is good but can have slowdowns when the screen is particularly clouded.”
    • “Unoptimized”

  • grinding

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The grinding aspect is considered tedious and challenging, especially for unlocking final bosses and other content, requiring lengthy play sessions or completing difficult modes. However, once past the initial grind and learning curve, the gameplay becomes enjoyable for several hours.

    • “While the game has a fairly large roster of characters, and a decent number of stages and music tracks from the get-go, the final boss characters and other unlockables require extensive grinding or challenging tasks, such as clearing certain modes on normal or higher in a single credit.”
    • “Grinding is required to unlock content, making progression slow and sometimes tedious.”
    • “The game involves a lengthy process of repetitive gameplay sessions to unlock certain features, which can be discouraging.”

  • stability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Unlike a bug-ridden PC port plagued by glitches and broken online multiplayer, this game's stability is significantly improved thanks to careful development and quality-of-life enhancements. While some minor glitches and rough patches remain, overall the game runs smoothly and provides a reliable experience.

    • “Whereas Rockin' Android released a bug-ridden PC port of a PlayStation 3 port of a PC game with mediocre redrawn 'HD' graphics (thankfully optional) and a host of launch problems, including glitches not present in the original and broken online multiplayer that soured many players (myself included with the DRM-free version from select bundles that never got patched), Fruitbat Factory took their time to ensure everything worked while improving quality-of-life features, which was well worth the delays.”
    • “There are some glitches and rough patches that affect gameplay stability.”
    • “Broken online multiplayer and unpatched bugs since launch have negatively impacted the game's stability experience.”

  • character development

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The character development features a nostalgic design reminiscent of 2007-era art, offering a charming and somewhat retro aesthetic.
