In more recent times they’ve started to move over to the mobile gaming world, the downloadable world and a more traditional release with the game. Originally released in the arcades of Tokyo, the DoDonPachi style games were literally a hidden world where gamers would add hundreds of yen to arcade machines to continue being destroyed by what some would argue to be impossibly challenging games. It’s a sight to see in the Western world and moreso a sight to see at all as where many Japanese and Western developers are struggling to keep up with the pace of the ever changing gaming market, Cave, have managed to become more successful from this transition into the digital and mobile world. It manages to capture the imagination of gamers not just in the increasingly challenging environments it presents but also in the colourful and arguably beautiful display of missiles that fire around the screen. After all, what can a paradox do to someone with a space ship that can shoot at the speed of light, piloted by a cyborg and flies over earth and time?ĭoDonPachi Resurrection is just one instalment out of many from Cave and whilst it echoes back to a time where you didn’t necessarily have to think to play a game. Whilst Futurama might get it right by killing everyone off who ends up being in a paradox, the creators of DoDonPachi Resurrection don’t care about such things. Some people don’t want to understand them others understand them only too well and point out the flaws in every paradox ever seen. 29 February, 2012 - 6:21 pm by Ian Reviewed on: Xbox 360
