Friend of the site Sam Howitt joins me to take a look at Maiden & Spell, a bullet-hell fighter in the style of Senko no Ronde, Acceleration of Suguri or Tohou Genso Rondo.

“The Dark Souls of x” is a phrase so ubiquitous now that you’ll probably hear it used to refer to any difficult game. obviously the creators of DJMAX have gotten wise to this, as all the press copy for DJMAX Respect, the latest in the notoriously demanding rhythm series, includes the phrase. But is it true? Is this really the Dark Souls of Rhythm Games?
No. What? That doesn’t make sense.
In fact, that whole ~Dark Souls of~ thing is seriously just… useless for describing…anything.
Let me offer a better comparison: DJMAX Respect is the bullet hell for rhythm games.

Senko no Ronde 2 is a game for a very, very specific audience If you’re not someone whose activation phrases are “Virtual-On”, “bullet hell”, “Psychic Force”, or “arena fighter” you’re probably someone who is going to be bewildered by the chaos you witness. For those with an affinity towards ANY of those, Senko no Ronde will feel like a revelation. It joins the ranks of the few competitive shoot-em-ups, alongside Change Air Blade, Twinkle Star Sprites and its various anime girl imitators like Genso Rondo and Acceleration of Suguri.
