The shots will not perfectly aim at targets initially.

Recca also has several powerups that increase the chances of survival for the player. Speed can also be changed up to four levels. Effective use of the bomb will help ensure survival throughout the game. It can also be used to block most shots, making it into a rechargeable shield. When fully charged, it will be at least two times the size of the ship and will produce a high-damage, lingering blast which is vital in beating bosses fast. The secondary weapon is a bomb which is charged while not firing and is the most important tool available. The ship can use weapons and pods which fire and can block shots but require some skill to use them as shields. The stages will have different bosses and the ending will be the true ending. In addition to Genki Mode, there is a remix of the stages that is accessible when the game is beaten. The title screen will have a red pattern in the background when activated to tell Genki Mode is active. Recca also has a additional mode, Genki Mode which gives the player 50 lives but the enemies explode in shots each time one is destroyed. In another departure from traditional games, there are multiple bosses on every stage, especially stage 4 which is a virtual boss rush with at least 7 bosses throughout the stage. There are several modes of play for Recca: Normal Mode which is regular play, Score Attack is how fast can one reach a score in a given time, and Time Attack is how many points can one get within 2 minutes.Īlthough there are only 4 stages, they can be long and are all not the same length.

The bosses are also very challenging, having lots of firepower and odd patterns. Recca is a very challenging game to play, due to the many waves of enemies and the shots they fire.
