GamePittSep 20189/10Overall, Shikhondo – Soul Eater is great fun for bullet hell fans, more so those with an interest in Asian folklore. Those out there who love games which offer a challenge and strive to achieve platinums rather than have them handed to them on a plate, this one is for you! The music is awesome, the visuals are stunning, the gameplay is fast and action-packed, seriously, what more could you ask for in this amazing title?! Also, although short, there is a lot of replayability as you try and get through the insane levels without using any continues, which there are trophies for.

DestructoidChris CarterSep 20186.5/10Shikhondo - Soul Eater is a dessert shmup. Newcomers won't want to skip ahead to the last course of a meal because there are already so many other dishes to choose from, even at the same restaurant (eShop).

Nindie SpotlightNindie SpotlightDec 20187.5/10The draw for Shikhondo is absolutely its gorgeous and unique art style, featuring some absolutely freaky-ass looking bosses in particular. Aside from the visuals it’s not necessarily as distinctive from its competition but with the exception of the genre-leading Ikaruga I wouldn’t say there’s anything clearly better than it either. If you’re a shmup fan who likes a challenge and is intrigued by its unique artwork Shikhondo is a well-made experience at a pretty reasonable price.

ZTGDWyatt DanielsSep 20184.5/10In spite of the wacky and colorful art design, Shikhondo: Soul Eater is a bland and unfulfilling experience. The gameplay is just okay, and there are no hooks that give this Flatline a heartbeat.
