Our take on Izanami's Dream Battle
Rather than presenting a conventional bullet-hell premise as a straightforward battle, the game frames the action as Izanami bringing her own imagined danmaku to life. The setup turns a pursuit toward the moon into the reason for the stages and gives the genre parody framing.
What is Izanami's Dream Battle?
