Although slashers and bullet hell shooter productions for a long time had little in common, over the years there have been titles that have successfully begun to combine their elements. One such hybrid is Homura Hime, an action game that is the work of Crimson Dusk, an independent studio from Taiwan.

Gameplay

In Homura Hime, events are viewed from a third-person perspective (TPP). The salt of the gameplay are clashes with opponents. On the way of the main heroine stand minor demons acting as serial adversaries, as well as arch-demons playing the role of bosses. During duels with the latter the screen is most often flooded with bullets, and we have to use our dexterity and reflexes to effectively dodge them and launch accurate attacks, as well as combine them into effective combos.

TheSixthAxis: 9 / 10 by Miguel Moran

Homura Hime is a blast, and it's the perfect love letter to the character action genre. In a world where these kinds of experiences are few and far between from big developers, it's so good to see an indie studio have a debut as strong as this.

Noisy Pixel: 9 / 10

Homura Hime is a thrilling action title that pairs weighty, expressive combat with a surprisingly heartfelt narrative about exorcists battling corrupted archdemons. Its combo-driven melee system, flexible Blessed Shots, and high-pressure enemy mechanics create some of the most engaging fights in the genre, while strong level design and meaningful progression keep the momentum steady.

Smash Jump: 7 / 10 by Dylan Shirley

Homura Hime is a fun game. At its best, it’s a unique and distinct blend of Ninja Gaiden and bullet hell systems that forces you to develop a rhythm and dance to it. At its worst, it tends to drag out it’s welcome and stutter under what is a fairly light load. But it has heart, and it loves a genre I love and doesn’t ask much up front.
