Excellent Japanese Indie Shoot Em' Up! Mecha Ritz: Steel Rondo Very Hard 1CC Review! (Switch/PC)
273Excellent Japanese Indie Shoot Em' Up! Mecha Ritz: Steel Rondo Very Hard 1CC Review! (Switch/PC). Mecha Ritz has made its way onto the Nintendo Switch with a big update! This hidden gem is a Japanese indie shmup that has been available on Steam for a few years, but has now has a console release as well, which is really cool and rare for these type of indie shmups.
If you are fan of Cho Ren Sha 68K, Hellsinker, Ring 27, and many more of these hidden gem early PC era shmups, Mecha Ritz will be right up your alley! The Nintendo Switch port, which I have also played, runs smoothly and has low input lag. The steam version is excellent as well. What makes this game really fun is the way it has a kind dynamic rank system that allows you to play the same mode across all skill levels, which is really interesting. The game is also full of "content" (for lack of a better term) due to having branching paths and significantly different ship types. The biggest drawback of the game, for sure, is the lack of built in leaderboards, which is desperately needs considering how much the game focuses on the scoring system. Mecha Ritz may look intimidating from footage, but it is actually a very kind shmup for new players and a fantastic way to get into the genre.
