So many coins spent on this back in the 90s. Ill admit it, have played it only once in steam. bought it for pure nostalgia sake and dont regret it. It runs very well, plays nicely with a controller and what else can one ask for from such a small arcade?2 found this helpful
Who makes the best ShootEmUps? Toaplan -> Cave1 found this helpful
Very fun game Plays well on steam deck1 found this helpful
It's a "top-down" vertical direction walk shooter with eight characters with two weapons each, with unique special weapons and with bombs. One weapon faces only up, the other rotates into the walking direction. The bomb shoots up but clears the screen of bullets as defencive measure. There's no mouse controls so you have to do with gaypad knobs. Or whatever you bind to it. Each of the characters have their own ending but without the arcade flier you don't know their beginnings. This release doesn't come with a scan of it or of the manual. The screen is noisy so bullets come out of nowhere. Some sections are proper bullet hell. Some levels have labyrinth sections with tight corridors and right angle corners. It's a fully pay to win arcade game, so coins respawn you the same place you died, which means you actually can beat it without saves or rewinds. This is the best release of this game. The emulator runs with no stupid envelopes so you can play full screen on your vertical 3//4 monitor. It comes with instagram filtres by default looking all ugly with round corners, but you can disable that in the options and remove vaseline. There’s a lot of difficulty customization. There's …
It's a shame that it doesn't allow you to lock the direction of your shots like in Shock Troopers. But it's still one of the best top down, run-and-gun arcade games.
set the region to Japan. Trust me, you won't regret it
