Shady feedback – Lightning Fighter 2: Space War Review

Love the game and still one of the better shmup bullet-hell titles out there. I had all the craft unlocked and upgraded and loved playing the Crimson fighter...saving the Lightning Weapon pick-up until the boss battle started...activate Super and just melt the boss's health meter into nothingness. That was how the Crimson craft operated or, rather, how the Lightning Weapon + Super attack operated on the Crimson...months ago. Now, for some reason, when I activate the Super with Lightning Weapon on the Crimson, there is NO noticeable damage boost occurring_at_all. Apparently it was..too powerful? I don't know...I don't think so, certainly when facing the latter stage bosses...apparently this has been patched and the developer FAILED to let anyone know about this in the patch notes. (What, ya think someone wouldn't notice?) If you're going to nerf something, here's a pro-tip, be open to your target audience about it. That is just a very shady stunt to pull. I would have loved to have given this game 5 stars. I still want to...but being a developer, myself, and knowing that this type of deviant behavior IS (deviant) responsible for ruing a fan base and a game...and a poisonous method of software support. As of late, my save file and all my progress is just, magically, gone. Apparently the developer now expects us what, spend more of our money to buy back what we already had? Not consumer friendly. No honesty. No trust. 2 stars
