Cygni: All Guns Blazing is a visually stunning vertical shmup with twin-stick mechanics, offering full freedom of movement and innovative power management. Despite long stages and difficulty spikes, its cinematic presentation and engaging gameplay make it a notable addition to Konami's shmup catalog.
"CYGNI: All Guns Blazing is a visual feast with depth and difficulty aplenty - one to please the genre hardcore."
- Stuart Cullen, TechStomper
CYGNI: All Guns Blazing is a cracking game, complete with outstanding graphics and a proper challenge. This is one of the best shoot ‘em ups you’ll have played in recent years.
Games Asylum: "The franchises Konami are known for often vary from one individual to the next depending on which era they grew up in. Today they’re commonly referred to as the publisher behind Metal Gear Solid, Contra and Castlevania. Two generations ago, they were on a winning streak with Pro Evolution Soccer, which yearly went up against FIFA. Then back in the ‘90s, they found success with the Tiny Toons and TMNT licenses. It’s easy to forget that amongst all these cherished franchises, they dabbled with shoot’em ups too – with Gradius and Parodius being the most prolific, spawning sequels, handheld iterations, and more."
