The cute, pastel colored shooter, Mamoru-kun wa Norowarete Shimatta is taken from the arcades and transferred to Xbox360. So those who were not able to catch it while it was in the game center can now embark on your journey to save the world of death from sinking into total darkness.
Large eyed characters, candy colored graphics coupled with adrenaline pounding gameplay, send your guardian spirit off and shoot down all those monsters in your path.
Brilliant! This an extremely great Shmup. An excellent fun little title, an a brilliant fresh addition to the systems current Shmup offering.
Gameplay-wise, this is definitely one of the more interesting vertical-scrolling Shmups i have played in recent years, which is attributed to it's gameplay mechanics which bring forth a variety of strategic options when it comes to stage progression and use of power-ups, as similarly mentioned by another reviewer discussing the games Noroi system.
Yet another great offering from G.Rev, for any shooter fan, be sure to add this one to your collection, unique, interesting, and wholly enjoyable, this game shouldn't be missed!

Very cute & addictive shooter This game reminded me a lot of the old Kiki Kaikai games... only with a lot more bullets!!
The character design is cute and the music is very catchy...
If you like your vertical shooters a bit different, be sure to check this one out!

More of a Just a fair warning to those expecting a traditional shooter. Yes, it's top down, and yes, there are lovely bullet patterns to avoid, but your character's movement controls the scrolling of the level. Mix Ikari Warriors with your traditional Shmup and this is what you've got.
That being said, this is a fun experience. The game is FULLY PLAYABLE on an arcade stick, so you've got another great game to use your stick with. Some prefer to use dual analog controls, but I lean towards the stick.
There are definitely better titles out there for Shmup fans, but if you've exhausted your other options, pick it up!

Cute and unusual This is a fun, free-scrolling shooter that reminds me of a bunch of other games: KiKi KaiKai for the scenery, Forgotten Worlds for the bosses, and Robotron for the dual stick control scheme. But, in today's world, it's more fun than any of those. Mamoru's got tons of levels with branching paths, and the music is excellent. Even amidst other Xbox 360 shooters, it's still different enough to be worthwhile.
