Stage 4, 2 Lives, Horseless |
What a classic, certified childhood game for sure!
A great bullet hell for beginners, very manageable and doable mastery for anyone.
In case you find yourself having trouble with the deathless, horseless cheevo, abuse that shotgun past level 3. I recommend practicing level 3 no shotgun as much as possible, you'll need the ammo level 4 onwards, also, the magnums are very useful on bosses.
Suffered lots with the no horse and no dying cheevos but it was absolutely worth it!
TIPS:
-NEVER EVER get the cow skulls! The remove your upgrades!
-Google "strategywiki gun.smoke NES" so that you can check it and see all the hidden wanted posters and items and don't waste money/points on that.
-Always have a smart bomb (normal weapon is more than enough as long as it's upgraded.
-Don't panic with the enemies coming from your back. Just try to be at the top of the screen and then turn left/right and just go down while shooting, you'll probably get them. Check speedrunners to get the hang of this.
-If you need to get the horse cheevo on a stage but lost all of your lives and your score just won't be enough to buy the horse, just don't get the poster wanted and the loop will allow you to buy it later (in this way you don't have to start the game over but well, you gotta survive the loop lol)
-NOT FULL RNG, USE IT IN YOUR ADVANTAGE.
Enemies on the stage always spawn from the same spot so just memorize the parts where you have the most problems.
As for the boss battles, I think they are full RNG there, can't confirm it as I was too focused on the fights.
Anyway, had lots of fun with this classic.
Ty for the set, @Marverick23 :)
Great game, great set.
