Space Moth Lunar Edition Review - Bullet Heaven #331

The somewhat underwhelming Space Moth DX preceded Star Hunter DX which ended up being the 2021 Shmup of the Year on Bullet Heaven. However, Space Moth Lunar Edition aims to improve DX in huge ways. How does it stack up to its original incarnation?

Thanks for the review I didn't even realize I preordered this but it showed up at my house a few weeks ago after watching your review I'm excited to play it

Wait, Bullet Heaven is back?! YEAH BABY! I LOVE YOUR SHOOTER REVIEWS! I was so sad when they vanished! I hope we see more of the old videos return!

[henyujurai]

Great review I have always enjoyed your reviews and I do hope to see more

[PaStef]

Great game indeed, I like the challenge which feels just right.

[MP-S-TG]

Both these games are fun but the enemy behaviour is too static, it feels weird seeing so many bugs there, lifeless.

I also wish they hadn't removed the "web attack" from DX, that one was great. Any other games with that attack? I can't think of any right now.

[Undermog]

That "it's almost night and day" comment was way too good :D

[therichwhite]

I am so glad to see this game get overhauled. I think this game will always have staying power with a cult following because well it's a Moth-Em-Up!!!! Also being from Ohio and having all the Mothman prophecies it is a win in my mind.

[ASkeleton]

Maybe the reason some devs don't both with online leaderboards is because of cheaters just invalidating them.

[gfslamguitar]

I just bought both of these games randomly and found out they were made by the same developer and I fell in love. Now I know there is a physical release for Switch and I am on the hunt. I immediately thought of Mushihimasama

[RewdanSprites]

It's good there's channels like this to remind me to buy space moth 🤣.

[aaronlaluzerne]

So if I may ask, how do I unlock all of the characters from Star Hunter DX?

[strangementalitypaperYT]

Had this game for about six months and still don't know how to activate skull mode. SMH

[welldun]

feels something out of early 16 bit generation... dated graphics feel a little bit flat, 2 parallanx layers, enemies players and background dont rotate(even if its using sprites), finally no fancy shader tricks or even transparency or mode 7 styled transformations ...
