“表现力很强手感很不错的游戏,大概有点弹幕射击外加一点节奏游戏的内核,只用鼠标瞄准一个操作衍生出很不错的玩法。极简的设计但华丽的画面非常值得体验。剧情其实蛮有意思的,不过和战斗内容以及战斗中的演出相比就有点不够吸引人了。总的来说算是一款设计独特的休闲节奏射击爽游,还能顺便看一看美少女的故事(真的吗)。”

About This Game

Gameplay:
- Black Beacon Hill is a top-down bullet hell shooter with a unique and extremely minimalistic core mechanic: All player attacks, movements, and actions are pre-scripted automatically launched. Players only control the aim of these actions. Which means:
- There are zero buttons to press, and no controls besides mouse movement.
And it looks like this:

- Each stage contains it's own piece of original soundtrack. Composed by Chris Jay.

Story:

- [The high chamber] finds itself in a precarious position. Domestically, challengers against it's iron grip over Ulstania had begin to rear their heads from the senate and the civil police force. Beyond its borders, the long war it instigated against Kostakovia had become an unwinnable slugfest yielding only scortched earth at the cost of countless Ulstanian lives. Meanwhile, the sudden loss of communication with the front and whispers of a rogue cyberweapon herald a greater crisis on the horizon...
- Caught in the middle are the [Phantoms] - Hired operators of the high chamber. The few surviving veterans of the war with nowhere else to go. Making a living off doing the dirty work of their employers. Trying to ignore the open secret that, one way or another, this arrangement will not last...

- An originally written visual novel that plays out in between and within each stage.
