Sushi Castle

By: Thegreenback

Sushi Castle is a Indie game where you play a ninja going deep into a castle who shoots his way through enemies and bosses.

This is not a normal shooter game. You start off with you looking at the castle then do a short cut scene and you’re then playing in the game. Where you use the left analog stick to move around then the right to shoot towards. With only just the two bumpers and right trigger button to do extra stuff, the controls are very easy to get use to.

As you start out, you only have your trusted dragon cannon gun, that shoots blue spheres, that help you proceed to the next area. You can also find upgrades from entering a room with chests or take your chances with items that you find. As one set of items you can hold in your inventory slot can help you or harm you. Having a rice ball might make your stats go up a lot but loose shooting or attack power with the same item. Giving you that feeling of wanting to try it but not sure if you should. You also have what look like onions that are used as bombs. Using them for enemies to do some major damage or to taking out blocks to get and see what the chests have in them.

Each room you go into is randomly chosen from a decent amount of created room. It also seems you also get random enemies too. From being nothing at all to more than eight at a time, overwhelming you. Each enemy is different, some having to shoot them and knocking them to the ground and having to finish them off or killing them and having them come back to life. With such a variety of enemies you think you won't get used to handling them and taking them out. As soon as you do, you meet a new enemy or they add a few more of them and it become even harder. You can even try out what is kind of a challenge room where you battle waves of enemies. Some being harder than others but if you manage to take them all down you generally get an item that will help you. Some could give you great attack power to kill with fewer hits, or maybe even more health.

You also come across areas that you can buy stuff with the coins that you found from enemies or chests. The shops seem to come far and few between, so if you manage to find it, make sure to stop in and check it out. With other areas that just wont let you leave till everything is killed in that room giving you a challenge. But to cross deeper into the levels of the game you must take on a boss at the end of each level to progress. They are also randomly picked with a few words to you that are ever changing. Some seeming odd and others just humorous. As they each have their own way of attacking you and seeming to make sure you either just live or give you a run for your money. But you also get a item that raises and heals some of your hearts preparing you for what comes next on the new levels. 

The overall is that it’s a very fun game. With changing areas and even bosses you never know what is coming next. As even the dialog is different for scenes making it more enjoyable. But you cant see all the room or even the bosses on one total play though  making it have replay value. So if you want to be entertained and have a good time, try out this game and buy it for just 80pts ($1)
