Toaplan #15

Ok, so this is more like it!

Out Zone is the first of Toaplan's games, which I can confidently call really good.

It's a frenetic top-down, run-and-gun game in which you have to fight numerous waves of enemies while avoiding countless bullets. 

The action is just top-notch, offering a lot of variety on each level and delivering very cool boss battles.

On the negative side, as is usual with Toaplan games, the final levels get unreasonably hard; there are just too many enemies coming at you at once, and there's barely any time to react, so just spamming your bombs is by far the best strategy.

On the other hand, the last boss battle was a complete pushover and offered almost no challenge at all. Again, classic Toaplan. 

That aside, I found the experience to be quite enjoyable—definitely a Toaplan classic.
