BLOOD EMPIRE

"Long ago, there was a terrifying king who sought to rule the world through bloodshed and destruction. An insatiable thirst for power. Endless days of war to war. In time, he turned to evil arts in a bid to attain eternal life. But his scheme ended in failure. From the gates of hell he had flung open, the dead came flooding forth, and the castle that once stood as a symbol of his glory was transformed overnight into a nest of monsters."

This is a dark and hardcore bullet-hell shmup. Blast through swarms of evil monsters in a hellish world with no hope of salvation. The difficulty is just as unforgiving. There are no shields, no special powers—only pain and despair. Yet, if you continue to press forward, you may reach the truth in the end.
