You may have been mistakenly led to believe that being Zen is about floating in the wind with leaves and stuff. Cave's latest shooter shows us instead that the true meaning of Zen rests in laying waste to your enemies in a glorious torrent of plasma death. Ah, the beauty of destruction.
That's right, there are two ways of learning how to be Zen. One of them is to spend twenty years of your life in a montage life somewhere up a mountain, being molested by a hermit with a flowing long beard and watching cherry blossoms being raped by bees all year long.
Another is to spend 6 euros on DoDonPachi Resurrection, Cave's re-invention of their flagship shooting title, for your iPhone.
The first is the most commonly accepted, Hollywood-powered way of unlocking the mysteries of the universe. It's not fun. The second is the most awesome gaming experience ever created for a mobile device, it's a lot of fun, and will teach you just as many lessons about life, if not more.
