Six stages of classic shoot’em up goodness. I like the reduced graphic style with great visibility of enemy bullets and obstacles. The game is quite hard, but there is an easy mode for noobs like me. SATAZIUS can still be challenging because there is a checkpoint system instead of just respawning where you died. Don’t die too often because your upgrades will decrease every time you do. Luckily the level design is quite fair with plenty of pickups to power up again. There is a lot of obstacle-dodging in this game. So beware if that isn’t your preference in shoot’em ups. Some cheap trial and error passages. But for almost every cheap trap there is an achievement to ease the pain of dying. The game can be mean but still wants to be your friend. Banger soundtrack! Plenty of weapon loadouts to choose from. What else could you ask for for a few Dollars?
