Our take on Graze Counter GM
Players who rely on distance for safety may hit the main wall when charging the counter requires passing close to enemy bullets. Those who prefer a single fixed character may also bounce off the progression that begins with 2 ships and adds 14 unlockable types.
What is Graze Counter GM?
Graze Counter GM is a top-down 2D scrolling shooter built around close-range risk.
Each ship charges a counter gauge by moving near enemy bullets, then spends that charge on a destructive attack. Defeating enemies with special attacks awards stars for the Break Gauge; filling it enables a temporary Break Mode with increased firepower. The game includes 7 stages, 4 difficulty levels, 4 story modes, 16 selectable ship types, a boss rush, an extreme bonus stage, and a 30-part mission mode. Players can use mouse and keyboard or a gamepad. Archive Mode contains illustrations and setting information, while a bonus mini game and a remastered soundtrack are also included.
