So basically, your whole score comes down to how well you play. Every bullet that hits you takes away a life, and if you’re already at zero when you get smacked again, that’s it—game over. The points you rack up by collecting items in each level don’t just boost your score, they also make the boss fights tougher, so there’s some real risk-and-reward going on. You have also got bombs to rely on, and you can restock them by grabbing bomb items. You’ll be controlling a character who can power up during fights. Power-ups boost your firepower, bombs increase how many times you can unleash massive attacks (up to six), and score items help push your numbers higher. On top of Exelica and Cruelica, there’s also Faintia—who’s been completely redesigned just for this game. She is rocking a unique laser that gives her sustained fire making her playstyle feel different compared to the others.
Story-wise, Faintia even gets her own short story and ending. The scoring system has also been tweaked compared to the older arcade version. In the original, using Anchor Shoot changed your score multiplier, but in this Enhanced version, that’s no longer the case, which changes how you approach battles.

The art really brings the world to life. Plus, there’s a fully animated opening movie made by P.A. Works, with “GRAVITY ERROR” by Ayane as the theme song—it adds a seriously epic vibe when you start up.
To keep things competitive, there are online Steam rankings, including specific leaderboards for Faintia. If you’re feeling ambitious, you can even aim to become the top Faintia player worldwide. And if you just want to practice, there’s a training mode, and for that true arcade feel, vertical screen support is included too.
