The Tale of Alltynex

Alltynex: all your military are belong to it!

The Tale Of Alltynex is a trilogy of Bullet Hell Shoot Em Ups developed by Siter Skain with its story centering around the malicious AI Alltynex. Each game in the series has its own gameplay mechanics and gimmicks. One thing that stays consistent in the series, however, is that despite the games being of the Bullet Hell genre, the ships are much tougher and have much larger hitboxes than the standard bullet hell. Thankfully each game provides you with some form of protection against the sheer onslaught of bullets.

As none of the games have been released in English, the only one with a confirmed accurate story on its page right now is RefleX. The others are based on partial translations and are in desperate need of fact-checking by someone familiar with their stories.

The games in the trilogy are:

Siter Skain recently released a story and art compilation at Comiket 80.

This series provides examples of:

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The series plays with this trope to no end.
All Up To You: Averted in Alltynex Second where the player ship is only one of a much larger force that can be seen in the first level of the game.
- Zigzagged in RefleX with you having help from your allies in stage 1 but left on your own from stage 2 to 5. Justified in stage 7 where your backup got killed.
- Played straight in Kamui, where the player ship is literally the only one with the capability to fight back against Alltynex.
Antagonist Title
Back to Front: The games were released in the opposite order their stories go (Kamui is final, Alltynex 2nd comes first).
Big Bad: Alltynex OS.
Bullet Hell: Although it is a lot less bullets than the typical bullet hell but still enough to qualify.
Crapsack World
Hitbox Dissonance: Averted.
Lonely Piano Piece: In the series' sadder or more serious moments the piano is used instead of an organ.
Macross Missile Massacre
Made of Iron: The player ship in all the games.
More Dakka
Nintendo Hard
Ominous Pipe Organ: Many the themes in the series feature this.
Power Gives You Wings: Present in some form in all three games.
Recurring Boss: Scorpio has made appearances in all three games. It looks different in each game, but its signature laser sweep can't be mistaken.
- Alltynex may also qualify.
Roboteching
Robots Enslaving Robots: Alltynex in a nutshell.
Stuff Blowing Up: And then some.
Wave Motion Gun: All three games feature this in some shape or form.
Wave Motion Tuning Fork: The Kamui fighters as well as Sagittarius uses this.
