Critic Reviews for DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou
It's great that DODONPACHI SAIDAIOUJOU is available for Switch. With so many modes and sublime gameplay, it'll knock your socks off. 🧦
DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou is a hardcore shmup title to its bones. If you’re new to the genre then this probably isn’t going to be the title that converts you; rather it’s a love letter to ship-flying, credit-popping, bomb dropping gamers who love to hit the wall of Level 3 over and over again, maximizing those scores and using the smallest of windows to avoid colorful death. The lack of an English translation beyond a few menus does a major disservice to this release, but as a whole, it is great to see such an obscure and highly sought title in a more convenient to purchase and play package. It’s a game I’ll be returning to night after night trying to push ever closer to the mythos that is the one-credit clear true last boss which, much like this title, has never been more attainable.
DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou is a very interesting shoot’em up, but it's a shame the western Switch version doesn't include a[n English] translation. For those who aren't so experience in the genre, it ends up hard to recommend the title, but don't get it wrong: this is a great shoot'em up worth experiencing for those who understand Japanese or who are not intimidated by the impossibility to play it in a language they comprehend.
