pew pew! pew! pew pew! pew pew pew! Often frustrating, but somehow still quite generous. Wish the story of war and revolution clicked more for me, but hey not all games can have it all! pew pew! pew pew pew! pew!

very stylish and memorable shmup with a great cast of characters, very Treasure-esque bossfights

A pretty good shmup with tough patterns and gratifying weapons. The large enemy designs are also pretty charming, and I'm kind of a sucker for andromorphic characters that look groaty and disheveled. It makes them feel more real, if that makes sense. The story they carry is also mildly interesting, with gripping bits here and there. I also like that they kept the original Hungarian voice-acting.

The challenge of the bosses and their projectile trajectory is the real meat, and the game's story mode is pretty lenient with its continues and checkpoints. Apparently diagonal bullets are considered bad faux pas, but I wouldn't really know, this is not my subgenre at all.

The atmosphere is what helps me remember this game, goes for a good tech-y steampunk vibe, and Akira Yamaoka's contributions as head composer shine throughout.

This game would be a lot better if it ditched the annoying parts of arcade gaming.
