I think the positioning of your vehicle relative to the camera actually works better here than in Space Harrier. Beyond that a decent shooter but with the same nonsense visuals as the game that inspired it.

This game is a fucking war crime in difficulty and Devil Nakumura rightfully names himself the devil.
But it looks great and it has a cute blue haired anime girl so it's good actually.

Pretty fun shoot 'em up with a banging soundtrack! I did find it a bit hard to control at times but was good overall. ended up using cheats in this game since I'm not a real gamer™️

Pretty okay rail shooter, though the perspective frequently makes things a little difficult, at times more so than some of its contemporaries like Space Harrier (though it runs better than II). Final boss sucks also. Probably not so bad to pick up and play, but nothing anyone would really be missing out on.

Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 6: Namco vol 2

Ending the time with Namco on the Evercade with whats a pretty fun, if light faux 3D shooter that somehow pulls the effects off better than SEGA's own efforts in that department. Is it a great game? Not really. Its missing some flair, some art, some gameplay mixing to really make the whole thing sing. Is it fun for quick goes? Yeah sure. Thank the lord for save states.

A sharp and smooth Space Harrier-like with a lot of personality.
