Really enjoyed this seemingly random title for the Switch’s Mega Drive service. My understanding is M2 has acquired the rights to the Aleste series and MUSHA is a spin-off of sorts. It’s a really smart vertical shooter that yes, at times can seem monotonous as you blast down wave after wave of enemies.
But the nuance exists in the two shooting buddies by your sides, commanding them to shoot forward, at a 45 degree angle front or back, rotating, in reverse to your movements or free form. As well as upgradable specials and main shot. These are all managed dependant on the needs of each stage.
The game looks vivid on Mega Drive and runs smooth as butter. There is some slowdown time but it occurs maybe once or twice a play and is entirely necessary. The soundtrack is also strong as.
I felt it was especially smart that at the end even with the basic shooter you can take down the final bosses - which is a very likely result on I found even on Normal this is a struggle. A classic, loved it.
