Triggerheart Exelica
57
Like most arcade shooters, the experience is brief. The challenge is there for those who would like to memorize attack patterns and master the five levels, but there isn't anything that feels exciting.
Despite the glaring flaw of a cramped field of play, there’s no denying that Triggerheart Exelica is still a blast to play. Nonstop action teamed up with unique gameplay elements and easy to use controls make this just the game to please those of you longing for a good ol’ fashioned space shooter.
Triggerheart is a passable arcade shooter, but doesn't offer enough to make it worth the asking price.

This game is just plain awesome! The art style of the playable characters is stellar, the different play styles each one has adds variety to the game, and the core game play itself is simple yet extremely challenging. The emphasis here is all about the movement, finding patters in the enemy attacks, and maneuvering yourself around them and going for the kill shot. The music in this game is super catchy too and is bound to get stuck in your head! Playing this game with an arcade stick is like the ultimate way to get as close as you can to the arcade experience. Check this one out if you are into arcade shoot-em-up's for sure, this one is super fun and challenging!

Worth Playing
Triggerheart Exelica is one of the best XBLA games I've played on the 360, so if you like vertical shooters of old and new; if Radiant Silvergun, Parodius or Do Don Pachi mean anything to you; or if you enjoyed the recent Omega Five, you'll be perfectly at home with Triggerheart Exelica.

On one hand you have a bright, colorful, highly addictive shooter that'll flex those twitch gaming muscles a bit. On the other hand the game is very short, and if you're not a hardcore fan of the genre, and don't care about leaderboard rankings and hunting down Achievement points, then there won't be any incentive for you to bother with the game after completing it once.

A solid shooter that will have many a leaderboard junky glued-fast for weeks on end. [Issue#31, p.118]

Triggerheart Exelica is the kind of brutally difficult bullet orgy that shooter otaku love. [May 2008, p.76]

What is important is the difficulty to distinguish between things you’re supposed to collect and things you’re supposed to avoid, especially when the screen fills with lasers and power ups. Even after several hours of play, dying because of this was fairly common.
