ALLTYNEX Second

This is an absolute treat of a shoot-em-up. Its strong suit is its array of ways you can decimate your enemies and how seamlessly you can switch between your arsenal. Switching between lasers and devastating swords and shooting rockets to accumulate the most points possible is some of the most fun I've had in recent memory. This is an easy recommend.

We need the original FM Towns version on steam asap
