The Void Rains Upon Her Heart – Inspired by Dark Matter (Kirby) and Undertale
It’s a great start to the weekend and with that comes a code for The Void Rains Upon Her Heart for Steam. This game will be released in Early Access on February 14th for $7.99 with a 15% week long launch discount!
I’ve never personally been interested in bullet-hell games, up until I played this title. It’s a great entry to the genre and it’s made so much better by the unlock and reward system. I really hope you can set some time aside to try out this hidden gem. Please be aware there is some light, artistic nudity that can be disabled in an option presented after the game launches.
The Void Rains Upon Her Heart is primarily a boss-rush bullet-hell game. As such, there are no stages with small enemies to get though, only boss battles!
The game takes inspiration from Kirby and Undertale. Some fans have called it a “Space Cuphead!”
Each boss has its own range of difficulty levels which can accommodate all skill levels from “completely new to shoot ’em ups” all the way to “I’m pretty good at shmups.” The bosses will remain the same, and their attacks will begin in a similar way, but as the difficulty level increases, they develop more and more in difficulty and pattern. A level 1 boss can have an almost completely different set of attacks than a level 9 version of the same boss!
A playthrough of Story Mode consists of several randomly chosen battles in a row with the final boss, The Void, waiting at the end. Each monster will give you at least one random gift that permanently powers you up for the rest of the run. If your heart’s health ever runs out, then your heart will break and you will be sent back to the beginning. Oh, and your health does not refill after each battle, unless a gift heals you. You will need a combination of skill and luck to make it through this!
There is also a Quickplay Mode, where you can battle any boss at any level and equip any gifts that you have found. You can use this mode to practice any high-level battles that give you trouble in story mode, or you can go for high scores and earn medals.
Don’t forget the Secret Mode where you can give up and throw yourself into the eternal emptiness of the Void!
