Bullet hell that is also a typeracer!!!
Can you believe it? Honestly I didn’t at first…. Seemed too niche to be real. But after watching the gameplay below, you will see that INDEED there is a QWERTY SHMUP! (Ala Typing of the Dead) There is a keyboard war for your soul as you exercise demons on the Dreamcast. This game can be played either entirely on keyboard, or entirely on a gamepad, or both simultaneously for a fun risk vs reward from switching between them! Like you could dodge incoming bullets with the gamepad, then type your demon crushing prayers on the keyboard! This was originally a PC game and is actually available on Steam for $14.99 (and we may purchase a copy until the Dreamcast port comes out) but what could be better than owning this for the Dreamcast?
Gameplay video, on Dreamcast!
Description from Steam: “Dodge bullets while typing exorcisms at the very same time: Get ready for an electrifying mix between bullet hell and typing game! Turn on both sides of your brain and jump into the adventure of private exorcist Ray Bibbia” 8 minute gameplay video here.
You can see here from the gameplay video there is A LOT going on in this game and doesnt seem like it will be an easy run. Music really sounds great too! Cant wait to get that soundtrack!
The game looks beautiful
And we can NOT wait to play it! It’s a game that has an awesome risk vs reward system that will have you dodging bullets and various mucus blobs when its hectic, and typing out prayers to fight the demons as they charge their special attacks. It’s definitely no a typical typeracer. Its special. Check out the screenshots below to see what we mean.
Headup games LOVEs the Dreamcast
“We at Headup have been releasing indie games across all platforms for over a decade, but ever since I went into the industry, I wanted to bring new life to my all time favorite platform. The second we picked up The Textorcist, my brain was screaming "House of the Dead" so it was a no-brainer to make this very special game our first Dreamcast release. If we can make it work commercially, we promise to look into more of our content to bring to the system, keeping the dream alive forever!" - Dieter Schoeller, CEO & Founder Headup
And beyond all that
Would you just look at this INSANE case and sleeve! Holy damn that’s a beauty! Like, I think i’m in love! So aesthetically pleasing to me for some reason. Not sure if its the colors, the fact that it’s a double sided jewel case, (there only being 666 copies) or even just the actual imagery itself, but I dig it a lot and need it in my life…
Im just crazy excited for this.
All in all, I am stupid excited for this as you know I LOVE hidden gems! Especially when they are crazy niche. And this hits every note for me! Part Ikaruga, part typing of the dead, part adventure game. I personally cant wait to play this with me on the Striker DC, and my wife on the Sega.net keyboard! This looks like its gonna be… a Hell of a time
