DJay 95 Plays: Mars Matrix: Hyper Solid Shooting (Arcade) Longplay
4Hey players, DJay here with a new longplay on a challenging bullet hell shooter, Mars Matrix.
Description of the game:
Mars Matrix: Hyper Solid Shooting is a fast paced vertical scrolling bullet hell shmup developed by Takumi and published by Capcom in arcades in April 2000 on the CPS-II arcade system board. It was then ported on the Sega Dreamcast in 2001 with no further re-releases.
Half a century has passed since humans carried out a project to migrate to Mars. During colonization, many self-governing areas formed there, but never granted independent control. Instead, the MDA (Mars Development Agency), was created by Earth Federation. While Mars seemed to have being self-governing, in reality, it was a shackled colony completely controlled by Earth. Years later until 8 December 2309, a sudden crackle of static bursts into Earth's atmosphere. Mars sends an unexpected transmission to Earth, and soon lost contact. Realizing the situation is extreme, Earth Federation Army sends forth a military contigent from the moon and converge on Mars. Two experimental ACID unit ships have being deployed to combat the enemy forces, the Mosquito space fighters. As space begins to explode on the battlefield, so begins the Mars War of Independence.
Gameplay is similar to other vertical scrolling shmups. Players must choose between one of the Mosquito space fighters, Mosquito 01 with low speed and firepower, but compensates for wide firing range and Mosquito 02 with high speed and firepower, but with concentrated firing range. Every one of their weapons are controlled by 1 button:
Normal shots: Repeatedly tap the shot button.
Piercing Cannon: Press the fire button to blast a powerful shot after waiting a brief moment of time.
Absorption Barrier "Mosquito": Hold and release the button to absorp enemy projectiles and fling back at them, gaining invulnerability frames after use. The longer you use it, the more bullets you will absorb to do more damage.
Gravity Hole Bomb: Press and hold the shot button until the guage is fully depleted, causing a massive explosion that not only eliminates all bullets, but also does big damage towards enemies. (Not very effective when used further away from the enemy)
The guage has a slow cooldown period, so players must know how to use it carefully in order to avoid being left vulnerable as it drains fast upon use. There are 6 challenging stages, each filled with enemies that will appear to fill the screen with bullets, some in distinctive patterns. Destroying enemies will yield an experience cube. (Using the absorption barrier attack will yield more). If collected fast enough, the Mosquito will upgrade upon reaching certain experience points (Highest level is 8). There is no way of colliding with enemies, however, getting hit by projectiles causes the Mosquito to explode and lose a life.
Do you have what it takes to beat this intensely difficult and fast paced bullet hell shmup?
