(played Sega CD version)
The hardest I've been impressed with the visuals of a game in years, some of these stages and their tunes are absolutely exhilarating. That sprint across the beehive maze space station ooooh mama. For real implore anyone to dive in blind if at all possible.
What drags Silpheed down is the lack of boss variety, as you're facing up against increasingly annoying variants of the same three ships ad nauseum. Lots of projectiles that get camoflaged by the background and damage that rarely ever feels fair, made worse by the weird 3D tunnel boundary you're supposed to navigate. The final boss is insanely demanding and I respect the nerve of it all.
