I was gifted a few games to cover on the channel awhile back, and in my attempt to upload some of them, I ran into numerous issues from playback / capture problems to framerate / graphics issues, which is unfortunate, especially in the case of Platine Dispositif's titles. Those who have followed us for awhile know that they were one of the first Doujin creators we had regular exposure to, long before a small list of their games made it to Steam. Being around since the late 90s, their bold sprites, loads of effects and higher-than-average difficulty helped me appreciate games from small studios overseas. I appreciate Rockin' Android's efforts to introduce Doujin titles to a larger audience, and Platine Dispositif's offerings were some of the finer Doujin games of the early-mid 2000s.

This particular title, Gundemonium Recollection, is actually a remake of their original "Gundemonium" game released back in 2003. A horizontal bullet-hell among bullet-hells, GunRec is harder than most games of its kind, but rewarding for those who can put up with it. Difficulty is assessed through the player's "Phase Level", which increases or decreases with different actions and difficulties. Enemy variety, attack patterns, and obstacles all change dynamically as you play, though different difficulties have a ceiling on how high the Phase will go. The player is far from defenseless though; You can choose Eryth Millfall for balanced gameplay or customize different "Earl Types" with four different shots, mana skills and bombs which prioritize on everything from speed to range to attack power to mana consumption. Collecting gems increases your mana while friction break occurs when you graze enough bullets (turns bullets to gems). Both have tiny hitboxes.

The game is still visually pleasing after more than 10 years on the market (2007 for the remake) and has a quality soundtrack. I strongly recommend it to anyone who likes Danmaku titles, but if not, I'd avoid it; this game wouldn't be good for your blood pressure, and you can't get the most out of the game unless you get to higher Phases. Maybe some other Platine Dispositif titles will get localized someday like " Meikyuu Wakusei desParaiso", "Bloodvane", "Biblinthus", "BeyondFallendom", Dicing Knight (which was released for WonderSwan Color / Crystal but is very rare and worth hundreds), etc. It's worth noting that "Gundemonium" was revamped yet again for PSVita and PS4 under the name "Gundemoniums" with new playable characters and features. 

The framerate of this capture fluctuates between 53-58fps and was the best I could do, so I didn't record more than one level because the gameplay slows down slightly too, so it wouldn't be fair. There are plenty of high-level gameplay vids for this though. You can get this game at:
