'''Blue Wish Resurrection Plus''' (or '''BWRP'''), is the 5th game created by x.x game room, and indie shmup developer. Their games are very heavily inspired by [[Cave]]'s design philosophy. This game in particular has a lot of similar bullet and ship designs as the [[DoDonPachi]] series. It was released on PC as free software, and it's the third game in the Blue Wish series.

==Gameplay Overview==
----
BWRP is a vertical scrolling bullet-hell shmup with many design cues taken by [[Cave]] games, as many shot types, enemy formations and bullet patterns. It has up to 5 levels of power up, and the player can hold up to 6 bombs. There are 2 shot types, focus shot and unfocused shot. By mashing the Shot button or holding the Auto-Shot button, the player will do their unfocused shot, and when the Shot button is held, the player will do their focused shot, and the ship's speed will drop, while also revealing its hitbox, much like other indie shmups like the Touhou series.

The game has by default a "Guard" mechanic put in place which can be turnt off in the options menu. When the player is hit, if they have at least one bomb in stock, a shield will cover them for a while, at the cost of one bomb.

Bombs are either big blasts that cover a portion of the screen (Unfocused), or increase the range and damage of the shot types (Focused), depending on when the player bombs.

The game has 3 difficulties:

'''Heaven:''' Akin to Novice Mode in other shmups. Heaven BWRP are one of the better shmups for complete beginners of the genre.

'''Original:'''The base difficulty of the game.

'''Hell:'''Acts like the Ultra setting in the [[Mushihimesama]] games, with a substantial increase in enemy bullets.

There are no loops to be found, and the game has only 5 stages. If the player clears the game on Hell difficulty on one credit, they'll fight the Last True Boss of the game.

The player starts with 3 total lives. The player can gain one extend after every 5 Million points

'''The titular ship is very similar to the Type C ship in [[DoDonPachi]] games, with a wide shot for its unfocused shot, and narrow array for its focused shot. It is a very easy ship to use, but its damage is overall lackluster when compared to other ships.'''

'''Blue Hope has very little spread on its unfocused shot, but both shots have good firepower, making this ship the most damaging one no matter the situation. Their good damage makes them great for boss fights, but stages may get complicated if the player doesn't know enemy placing and stage layouts.'''

'''Eden's Edge is a really un-orthodox ship, with some similarities to the Trace option found in [[Mushihimesama]]. The dynamic way the options track movement can make for makeshift screen coverage, or high damage if the player can stack them on top of each other. It heavily rewards knowledge about stage layouts to use every option formation to the fullest'''

'''Gunbird''' (or '''Mobile Light Force''' in some western ports), is the first game in the Gunbird series and the second game that was developed by [[Psikyo]]. The game has been ported to multiple platforms across the years, including the Saturn, the PSX, and also modern devices like Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. Internationally, on 2003, it received a now infamous port on the PSX with the title ''Mobile Light Force'', accompanied with a legendary bad cover that looks more like a Charlie Angels tie-in game than Gunbird. While it does play fine, the cover has to this day still confused people what the name of this game even is. It's Gunbird, no questions asked, but the cover has to be seen to be believed (Seriously, google it, you will wonder how did it get past Quality Assurance)

The game puts the player in a mix-and-match setting taking inspiration from Steampunk, Medieval, and Treasure Hunting tropes and designs, with a search for the McGuffin as the main plot. The game doesn't take itself very seriously and leans toward the tropes from the genres it takes from.

==Gameplay Overview==

Gunbird is vertically scrolling shooter with 8-way movement and two buttons. There are four levels of shot power-up: at full power. When the player is hit, the power level will drop down to minimum, but a power item will drop. By holding down the fire button, your character will stop shooting and begin charging their Charge Attack, which varies from character to character. There is no Melee Charge Attack like in [[Gunbird 2]]. Unlike later [[Psikyo]] titles, this Charge Attacks take much longer to finish charging on average, forcing the player to find spots where they can be used safely.

For each life, a player will have access to 2 bombs, with a maximum number of 8, which the player can get to by collecting the bomb icons some enemies drop. Bombs act like your average screen nuke. Some characters become inmeditealy vulnerable when pressing the bomb button, making them especially good as a defensive mechanic in those instances.

Some enemies won't cause a [[Miss]] on contact, but will instead drop down a shot level, or a bomb if the player was already at minimum power.

Each game loop consists of seven stages, with the first three stages being randomly chosen from a possible four. After defeating the last boss the player automatically enters a second loop. The second loop features remixed enemy and bullet patterns which are much more difficult.

The player starts with 3 total lives. There is one extend at 400,000 points. Both can be changed on the Dipswitches menu.

'''Ash is an all-rounder with great movement. His charge and main shot deal good damage, and his sub shot has a decent enough spread. He has the fastest movement in the game, which is very useful to players that know what dodges become available to him. While he has a high skill ceiling, he is also easy to play, without many weaknesses aside from slow charge shots and weak bomb which can be annoying in bosses.'''

'''Marion is a beginner-friendly character, with a Main and Sub shot that have great coverage to hit all enemies on the screen, which allows the player to focus on dodging, while also having good single target damage with her charge shot. Her homing and invulnerable bomb makes her very recommended to players new to the game or the genre as a whole. However, her damage without charge is really low, and more experienced players may become frustrated due to her low damage making it harder to kill enemies as easily as they can with other shot-types.'''

'''Valnus is a fairly balanced character, with good screen coverage and an invincible bomb. While he is slow, his sub shots can pierce enemies while having a piercing effect that can be useful for damaging rows of enemies or multiple boss parts at a time. His charge attack has low range but fairly fast activation time. His slow nature an unimpressive damage can make it hard to fight bosses however. A decent pick for all skill levels, and a great one for Mecha fans.'''

'''Yuan-Nang is a high risk, high reward character. Her charge shot is by far the fastest of the cast, but also the tiniest and least long-lasting. This makes her gameplay all about charging her attack, releasing and weaving through bullets in the top side of the screen while speed-killing every large enemy. She is best used by players that already know bullet patterns of enemies, and want to try a more aggressive, mobile play-style.'''

|}

'''Tetsu is all about raw fire power. His normal and charge shot deal very high damage, but his movement is slow, and his bomb is neither invulnerable nor reaches enemies fast enough to be used on reaction to bad spots. He can deal very good damage and speed kill enemies while as far away as he can, and his bomb does deal very good damage, even if it's a bit sluggish. If all you want is pure strenght, give him a try, although, just like Yuan-Nang, he is best reserved by players that already know enemy patterns.'''
