If a lack of online leaderboards is a deal-breaker for you, Mecha Ritz: Steel Rondo won’t be to your liking. Despite the high value I place on that feature, I found the game was able to present enough to dig into that I still got my kicks anyway. With so many unique mechas to play as, stages to challenge, mini-bosses and bosses to battle, and a bevy of unlockables, this is one shoot-em-up that just keeps on giving.

It fit right in with my small rotation of shmup games and has become a great way to relax after a stressful day of work and life commitments.
With its simplistic sprites and standoffish pricing Mecha Ritz: Steel Rondo delivers a weak first impression. But a collection of different ship types and a difficulty level that changes on the fly means that danmaku devotees shouldn’t automatically overlook Yuki “HEY” Shouhei’s effort.
A satisfactory bullet hell vertical shoot 'em up with many unlockable ships, branching paths and a dynamic difficulty that could benefit from better graphics and a more stable framerate.

With an FM Synth soundtrack and a distinctive visual design, Mecha Ritz: Steel...
