Recommended By Curators

"Vaguely similar to the 'Senko No Ronde' series, Acceleration is a fast shmup/fighter hybrid you won't easily find outside the arcades. Has Online play."

Reviews

“So, what the heck is SUGURI X, anyway? At its core, the game can be thought of as a top-down version of Sega’s Virtual On, only with the speed cranked up to the max and cute anime girls in the place of mechs.” … “Beyond its twitch action, what makes SUGURI X so engaging is the depth of its combat.” ... “Bless Rockin’ Android for bringing SUGURI X to the Playstation 3. The game’s potential audience is certainly limited and the frenzied action may be a little too much for most gamers to swallow, but for those of us who live and die by these types of niche titles, SUGURI X is an absolute godsend.”
Gamesugar

“SUGURI X Edition challenges players to simultaneously implement both fighting game and shoot-’em-up strategies, and the end result is as interesting as it is addictive.” ... “The continuous Arcade mode, local and online versus, techno soundtrack, in-game Youtube recording, and the visible difference in difficulty modes all give SUGURI X Edition the boost it needs, especially for its shockingly low price.”
Gamezone

“The intense battles and tight gameplay in Acceleration of SUGURI X Edition offer a high replay value. If you spend a little time getting to know this shooter-brawler hybrid, you'll want to dig deeper to check out each character's moves, test her unique combat abilities against other adversaries, and grab a pal to pummel over and over again.”

I honestly like the game. AoS2 plays better, but that one doesn't have an English release. Honestly AoS is a pretty fun game marred mainly by the rocky initial steam release and terrible response from the company. RA at least got the horrible initial bugs fixed quickly, but I'm wondering why it's so problematic when the desura release was so smooth. 1 thing they did do however, is fix up the netcode. It runs alot smoother now and has less visible lag. Also you don't have to go through the godawful direct connect system anymore and can just run off steam lobbies. Which have issues granted, but it's still less trouble than the old method. Multiplayer is still fun as hell though.

There is a story mode to this game the middle option when choosing a new game. The game takes place during the time of Christmas where Miracles can occur. During a party to celebrate the occasion a miracle occurs and a man appears who dreams of owning a harem and resting his head on the knees of other girls. These acts of war will not go untreated as the man who is actually a robot clone can control some of the other girls who are robots as well and not actually battle gods. Its time to alpha up, all will die who wish to rest their heads on the knees of girls! No quarter shall be spared in this one on one fighting game street fighter style! The controls are broken for most where you cant go diagonal, which is fine in single player but going online in multiplayer is a death sentence. Its got fun fighting mechanics where you fight in the air, using attacks like from a side scroller shooter just like the first Suguri game. Building up heats increases damage you do, so get alot of that heat! The more heat the better lest some man try to rest his head on your knees! War is hell!

As of August 23rd, 2014. A patch has come out that has fixed some of the issues, I can safely recommend the game now. Some issues still exist, but the game is actually functional. There has also been no official word on what the patch has contained showing rather poor communication skills.

Acceleration of SUGURI mixes a 1v1 fighting genre with a SHMUP/Bullet-Hell type of gameplay, leaning more towards the latter than the former with an emphasis on being aggressive against your opponent and really good music.
If to put it even shorter : It's a good game.

What isn't good is the quality of Steam integration and the lack of communication done by the publishers.
There are too many issues (some fixed, some still existing) with this release some of which will likely persist outside the Steam release : Multiple ways of causing this game to crash, unexplainable performance issues, missing sprites, rare cases of it being unable to load sprites altogether, unobtainable achievements, unclear achievement descriptions.

Beyond that, the developers seemingly have disappeared and the only time someone has popped up, is to announce Steam Trading Cards being available for this game, on which the Emoticons are completely horrible and had all 10 seconds of effort put into them. Just look at the :devious: :its_on: (SUGURI) :cheer: :challenge: (AoSX) emoticons on the market.

But forget the Steam Trading Cards, these are a minor issue :
  • One of the finest examples of missing sprites is 2nd Player Suguri's weapon shooting sprite.
  • The game's performance drops when you enter the leaderboards (which are in-game rather than via the website for some reason)
  • Broken unlockable conditions
  • Playing the game for long enough causes various interface objects not to load. (Including healthbars and even main menu)
  • There is no steam overlay support.
  • Someone I know has the game crash upon startup. The game also crashes if you alt-tab prior to Rockin Android screen.

The steam release while at launch was a tragedy, with many issues still persisting, is now actually playable both in netplay and singleplayer without painful workarounds.

I haven't really played, well, any other bullet hell games besides Drunken Robot Pornography, so I can't exactly compare this to anything, but that is a good thing in my opinion, because it allows me to judge the game solely on its own merits, and not give it pre-set standards to live up to.

Now, where do I even start. Think of this as a fighting game, except bullet hell. It's like Dragonball Z up in this ♥♥♥♥. There's a good selection of characters, each with their own unique move set (well, mostly), and they're all pretty much on equal footing. This is one of those games where it's best to pick one character and master them though, because if you can combo their moves together efficiently you will become an unstoppable force. Basically, if you think the idea of epic super powered fights between anime girls sounds cool, I'd recommend this game to you, especially because of the low price for this gem as well. My one complaint would be the fact that it pretty much assumes direct control of your desktop. You can't alt+tab unless you press esc first, and the steam overlay doesn't work. Basically it's a bit more complicated to manage other programs while you're playing this one. Also, I guess it can get pretty repetitive after a while if you don't have friends to play with, but it's managed to entertain me for 50+ hours, so it's not a huge problem.

Now, I do want to point out his review is based on my experience. Apparently some people are having problems running the game, it's unresponsive to their controls, or they can't get achievements. Now, I honestly haven't encountered any of these problems personally. I play with a keyboard as well, and use Windows 8, yet it runs perfectly. Even multiplayer works fine for me and my friend. So, maybe it's a problem on their end? The point is, there is a chance the game may not work for you I guess, so buy with caution.

Extremly addicting and fun game which takes some time to get used to.
Pros:
-Nice soundtrack
-Looks pretty
-You can play as QP
-Has a practise mode to get used to each character
Cons:
-VERY confusing at first
-Keyboard controls don't always seem to register (might be my own stupidity)
-Steam overlay does not seem to work ingame

Overall I think this is a great game which is worth every cent

A mix of a fightning game with a shoot'em'up with a nice electronic soundtrack.

Two characters fight in a circular arena while trowing and dodging lasers, missiles and melee attacks. Very fast paced and movement based, with a variety of characters that encourage different playstyles. The game mechanics are somewhat simple but the gameplay can become very deep, in both tactics and execution.

The main downside is that this is a fighting game with a very small community, so after playing trough the arcade mode and beating the AIs, you may have a hard time finding a human opponent to fight.

Still, a unique and very fun experience, worth giving a try!

Not a shooter game, contrary to what you might expect at a glance. Similar to the old Xbox 360 title Wartech: Senko no Ronde, it's a 1v1 fighting game with cute bullet-hell girls. There aren't that many characters and the gameplay is relatively simplistic, but even then, it's really fun, and the characters are pretty different. Super fun in multiplayer.

A game with bullet hell and fighting aspects mixed together. The gameplay is smooth and the graphics are nicely made. Only big issue is that online matches isn't exactly active since playerbase seems to be quite small. Unfortunately, battling against CPUs all the time can't keep me interested forever. Other then that problem, it's a fun game.

Pretty great game. I'm not sure how to explain it. You have moves and fight and dodge and stuff. Its fun. Even if you don't usually like games like this (I usually don't), you may like this, so I suggest giving it a try!

If Anime & Crack had a baby in the sky this would be the result.
One of the best fighters ive played in a while. So simple, so amussing and the storyline well lets just say it involves Knees!
10\10 Deffinatly worth its price for the couple if not many hours you will get from it.

My laptop easily meets the recommended specs and blows away the minimun, and here's my issue:
Now loading crashes in windowed.
Game crashes before Loading screen in full screen.
The one time I mananged to get past the loading screen on the lowest settings, It crashed on the menu.

I think someone messed up the specs requirement and since I base that off my laptop buys, I feel very betrayed.
Until this is fixed, I cannot give a proper reveiw of this game, thus I cannot recomend this game (or honestly not).
