What a bizarre thing.
Being reductive, it's weirdo Space Harrier... But also, it's weirdo Space Harrier (with a dash of Panzer Dragoon). It somehow feels like a bunch of premade video game assets were bought, thrown into a blender, and shot out randomly at the screen, but also oddly cohesive in its art direction. Almost every single single element from the bonkers rock opera soundtrack to laser shooting giant enemy crabs feel like they're butting their heads against each other, but the simplistic yet addictive gameplay and a billion unlocks feels strangely satisfying in that old, Sega-like way. It somehow just works.
Honestly, I'm tempted to give it a perfect score, but I found some of the hard hitting attacks and bullets a little hard to avoid at times due to the overload of information on screen. Definitely recommended to lovers of old Sega rail shooters and people that like their video games a little weird.
