| Reviewed by | ndial | Otaku Dama is a 1999 vertical scrolling shoot 'em up for the Sharp X68K system, offering intense action but rather difficult gameplay. Its unique shooting scheme makes it a bit innovative to the genre, but avoiding enemy fire is incredibly difficult most of the times. |

 STORY / GAMEPLAY Otaku Dama is yet another budget shoot 'em up game, in which you are called to shoot and destroy large numbers of enemy spaceships. The main difference between this and every other vertical-scrolling shooter is that your shots' radius gets narrower the more rapidly you press the fire button! Also, if you keep the fire button pressed for 3 seconds, your ship will become temporarily invincible for a couple of seconds. Also, there are 3 different types of bombs that can be selected. As in almost every shooter game, at the end of each stage there is a huge spaceship waiting, which can "spit" around 100 bolts per second! Generally speaking, reaction times towards enemy fire is sometimes impossible, as their projectiles almost take the WHOLE screen! Well, difficulty aside, the game is fun to play though the action looks a bit repetitive with nothing innovative to see and it's recommended only if you're into this genre! GRAPHICS / SOUND The game offers a variety of enemy sprites but the backgrounds are rather repetitive. The enemy sprites move smoothly on screen, and the explosions effect is particularly impressive. Soundwise, the game offers nice sound effects along with some cool music scores during gameplay. | |
