There’s so much to commend about this one—the gorgeous pixel art, the catchy soundtrack, the varied routes both between stages and within them. The stage 6 background might be one of my favorites in any shmup—a dense cityscape turning to night as you battle a massive enemy battleship. Unfortunately the bullet visibility issue is such a fundamental problem that it makes recommending this one impossible for me. They simply blend in with everything—the backgrounds, the medals, your own shots, the explosions effects, the debris that flies off destroyed enemies. They are also quick and have a tendency to flash, which makes tracking them more difficult than it needs to be. You won’t notice this in the screenshots, where they look solid and easily readable, but in game they’ll come at you so covertly and so fast that panic bombing isn’t even really an option much of the time. Triangle Service’s later shmups Trizeal and Exzeal do a good job of fixing this issue, but sadly that doesn’t help this one.

Very good, and tight, I was surprised how good this was - note that the longer you keep playing the more credits they give you, so even if you suck a lot of you can beat this - it's tough though as it should be :D - best time when played on max difficulty

DELTAZEAL is a deliberately old-school vertical shoot ’em up that proudly embraces its arcade heritage, offering a tightly focused experience built around precision, memorization, and strategic weapon management. Developed by TRIANGLE SERVICE and published on Steam by KOMODO, the game is a revival of an early-2000s arcade title that wears its era on its sleeve. Rather than modernizing the genre with accessibility features or cinematic flair, DELTAZEAL commits fully to the traditions of classic arcade shooters, making it clear from the outset that it is designed for players who appreciate challenge, repetition, and mastery. The core gameplay places you in control of a combat craft flying vertically through a sequence of intense military-themed battlefields. Enemies pour in from all directions, ranging from small aerial units to heavily armored ground forces and elaborate multi-phase bosses. Movement and shooting are immediately responsive, reinforcing the importance of precise positioning and quick reactions. Survival depends less on raw firepower and more on understanding enemy patterns, bullet trajectories, and the safest routes through increasingly dense barrages. One of DELTAZ…
