I haven't been playing too much lately (for one thing, this is exam week) but I did get in some Gate of Thunder today. I've never played this game regularly, and I honestly couldn't remember if I ever even beat Hard difficulty before. Well, if i didn't before, I did today, without much trouble. I think back in April I posted a few complaints about the game, based on my impressions on Normal. Well, Hard is definitely better. The pacing is more consistent, there's more excitement, and so on. The end boss was anticlimactic for me - I used the earthquake weapon on it, and it killed it almost instantly. If I can continue to find time this week (or if I can stay interested without playing till next week), I may work on finishing this game off completely on Devil. I played it a few times like that so far.

When I first played this game, it reminded me a lot of Thunder Force III. Now, it's starting to remind me a little bit of Super C as well, in an abstract way.
