We now enter into the world of ESP. Ra. De., where Yusuke Sagami (That's the character I play as for this run), JB the 5th, and Irori Mimasaka go off (Each character has their own reason to go after Yaksa) to go defeat the Yaksa organization, led by Garra Ono herself!

ESP Ra. De. is a game developed by Cave and published by Atlus back at 1998. The Espgaluda games were inspired by this game.

Here's a bit about ESP Ra.De.'s mechanics. The following goes for all of the 3 characters, differences aside: You have your main Shot, which is your basic firing shot, and your Secondary Shot, which is your special shot. Your special shot is important to use to score in ESP Ra. De.

You also have bombs in this game as well, called Psychic Bombs. The longer you hold down on the bomb button, the stronger the bomb becomes. During the time you hold down the bomb, a barrier forms around you, where you're actually invincible for that period of time you hold down on the bomb button, and any bullets that come in contact with your barrier turn into gold cubes you can collect, which can influence rank (Rank makes the game be a bit more aggressive), should you collect the max number of cubes you can hold, and it also goes towards your end-game bonus, depending on how many gold cubes you have at the end. Your psychic bomb meter can be found in the bottom of the screen, which you should see a green-ish energy bar.

Somewhere near the top right corner of your screen is the amount of lives you have, represented by hearts. You start the game with 3 lives, and you can have a max of up to 6 lives. You get an additional life at 4 Million, and one more at 8 Million. There is one more life you can get a bit after the beginning of the 4th stage, at the end of the downward-scrolling train on the right. Don't use a bomb there, or you run the risk of destroying it. The amount of lives you have at the end of the game also goes toward your end-game bonus as well, including the box life also.

So that's a bit about ESP Ra. De. As for the run, well, this is my 1st 1cc of ESP Ra. De. actually! I'm really pleased to have gotten it! Even moreso, it didn't take all that long to do, I didn't expect to 1cc ESP Ra. De. by the end of this month, since I started work on this game rather recently, so that's really nice!

All in all, I quite like how this run went! It went well for a 1st 1cc! I actually even No Miss'ed all the way up to the Stage 5-2 Boss herself, Gaara Ono, so that's very nice things worked out for the most part there, in terms of a full run! \^o^/
