| Refs: | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoot_'em_up "Bullet hell: (弾幕, danmaku, literally "barrage" or "bullet curtain") ... This type is also known as "curtain fire",[25] "manic shooters" [7] or "maniac shooters"." https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bullet_hell https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/弾幕系シューティング "弾幕系シューティング" または "弾幕シューティング" Googling 怒首領蜂 dodonpachi (a famous bullet hell game) does seem to indicate the genre is usually called 弾幕シューティング rather than just 弾幕, but I think "bullet hell" is usually used to refer to the actual "curtain of bullets" too. In English, it appears "Dodonpachi" is most commonly described as a "bullet hell shoot' em up " or a "bullet hell shooter". Also I don't think this sense is slang, not even [col] in [vidg] contexts. |
