Mushihimesama is showing its age a bit, but the stellar gameplay is as good as always. The game is a bullet hell shooter, so expect a tough as nails challenge, but it is always fair and remains addictive throughout. Although it only features five levels, the multitude of modes and difficulties ensures that there is plenty of value for money. An online co-op mode would have been nice, but even with just the local co-op it remains a blast. If you are a fan of the genre don’t hesitate to pick it up, but novices beware, Mushihimesama packs a mean challenge.

Gameplay: The game doesn’t show any mercy, but practice pays off.

Graphics: Definitely not state of the art, but still charming despite the age of the game.

Sound: The soundtrack is great, but the sound effects could have benefited from a bit more oomph
