I've been meaning to play this game and I saw one review on here and was thinking nah it can't be that bad right? It really was that bad.

First off this is one of the easiest shmups I've ever played in my life. This makes something like GG Aleste look difficult. This game is so easy that I beat the final boss without getting hit once.

This game also has a magic system but I don't really get what the difference is with the last three spells. They seem to be the same? If anyone knows what the differences are let me know.

The performance is also atrocious it even gets to the point where the game stutters for a second. I sometimes just don't shoot just so the screen will scroll a bit faster. How was this even approved? The music also is just there though I swear the shop theme sounds awful because of a specific part of the song.

Overall I'm sorry to the other user for doubting you, it really was not a good game. Which is a shame considering the PC Engine game looks like it could be fun. It's not even worth a curiosity in my opinion.

A very, very basic shmup - probably one of the easiest I've ever played. I have no knowledge of the series this is a Spin-off of, but I doubt you need knowledge of it to "enjoy" this game. A very easy miss unless you are determined to play obscure Japanese Game Gear exclusives. It's short enough to not overstay its welcome at least.
