Perhaps one of the most visually imaginative titles ever to emerge onto the doujin game scene, QLIONE is one of those games you must actually see to appreciate the aesthetic beauty of its overall look. In a strange other-worldly liquid space environment that’s somewhat akin to watching colonies of microbes flagellating underneath a microscope, combined with the geometric entities reminiscent of the shooter game “Tempest,” this game will have you marveling at the overall designs while at the same time dodging constant enemy assault at every stage.

Prepare yourself for a unique gameplay experience, as “QLIONE” shakes up and redefines what a 2-D shooter game can be. The psychedelic vector backgrounds, gorgeous, splashy explosions and even the enemy projectiles are constantly moving, bending, shape-shifting and flowing in the most unconventional directions, offering the player a game that’s equally challenging and optically stunning.
