I'm running out of things to say about shmups, but Final Soldier is a very pleasant little game. I just wish its menu was a bit more clear since I only realized you can choose how each one of your weapons behave upon beating the game, thinking that pushing Select on main menu will just scroll thorugh difficulties. I suggest you do that because I feel like the normal mode makes two out of four weapons obsolete.

The game doesn't have any special theme, it's all machines and space, but it's a very comfortable and fairly easy (on Normal at least) game. The music's pretty banging and is probably the only shmup I've played where I could actually notice it while playing. Maybe I'm just getting better at those things.

Final Soldier doesn't do anything special, but everything it does is simply good.
