giant eagle looks on.\u00a0 And none of that is in this game.\u00a0 Except for the outer space part.\u00a0 Anyway, Schildmaid MX is a bullet hell styled horizontally scrolling shooter with a neat gimmick.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n<p>Controls are simple.\u00a0 Just use the L stick to move and hold down the button to fire.\u00a0 Another button will clear some bullets around you, but you only have limited use of that.\u00a0 The neat thing about this game is how the shield works.\u00a0 If you get hit by a bullet, a shield will activate and power-up your shots for a bit.\u00a0 But try not to get hit when the shield is active too many times or it\u2019ll disappear.\u00a0 When it does, you\u2019ll need to wait for it to charge again.\u00a0 I thought that was a neat mechanic and reminded me of other gimmicky shooters that I like such as Taito\u2019s G-Darius and Metal Black.\u00a0 Unfortunately, after going through all your lives and you get a Game Over, you can\u2019t continue.\u00a0 If you could, I think I would\u2019ve enjoyed this game more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/schild_screen\/\"><img
