The classic horizontal shmup! (I think!)
This one is really fun despite it's age, I really like how the terrain effects your movement more, needing to fly around mountains and avoid hitting cielings and stuff. I've only really pretty vertical shmups to this point outside of Phalanx for the meme, so this was quite neat!
My only real issue with this game was how unforgiving dying is. Losing all your powerups can make winning basically impossible in later stages. I also played on PC-Engine where there are ZERO continues!! I did use save states between stages but watching the NES version I wanna try to 1CC that. Less bullets on screen looks a lot less stressful.
Great game and I can see why it's a classic, just a bit too hard for me atm!
