Indie Games You Might Have Missed Part 2: Meritous [Lancer-X]

Best described as a dungeon crawler, mixed with an arena shmup, this has you wandering through a large map (separated into small rooms), while battling increasingly hard enemies and upgrading your shield and weapon (power, recharge and range). The battle system works rather beautifully and the difficulty curve seems to be judged well, however the game itself could have used some variety, consdering there are 3,000 rooms to navigate.

Oh, Meritous. That's definitely a nice (But very repetitive) game. God, I remember when all the bullets you're showing were a lot. God it gets very bad later on. XD
