Classic game room W
So I’m not super into shoot ‘em ups. I can respect them but eh not for me. Then I played this game and just everything clicked. I think this is by far the most fun I’ve had with one of these games. First off the powerups and additional lil buddies really help give you a chance. Believe me this game is still difficult and brutal sometimes but the opportunity to actually take multiple hits along with being able to shred enemies if you’re skillful and get upgrades feels really rewarding. It’s fun to have a game that you can break if you work for it and keep yourself alive which is what this game does. I always felt in control and felt like I could easily win with just more practice, memorization and of course getting every upgrade and lil buddy I could to completely obliterate any enemy I came in contact with. But you gotta work for that shit. I guess I just don’t like other games like this because I find myself dying over and over while being discouraged to try again.
This game is the huge exception for me because it’s just so damn fun and rewarding I wanted to keep playing.
Going to graphics I like the aesthetics a ton. I like the mix of ancient Japanese aesthetics combined with a more gritty and futuristic art direction. Everything in this game just feels really dangerous and as if you’re going against some truly deadly machines or impossible odds. It’s all awesome and the detail is just phenomenal for an early genesis title like this. I do also like the anime styled cutscene that starts the game but I personally wish we got one more cutscene to end the game at the very end. Overall sick stuff tho.
The music here is just fucking epic. As the classic game room review mentioned, this soundtrack sounds incredible and it’ll leave you stunned by what the genesis can accomplish.
So for me this game is an essential shooter on genesis and it’s a blast start to finish.
