I've been playing this every night before I fall asleep since the remake came out - so roughly 3 or so weeks now - and while I honestly love the game, I cannot say it's the greatest cute em up ever like many a Japanese retro gaming otaku have led me on to believe.
The patterns are fine but nothing spectacular, and the story and art are cute but nothing iconic. It needs to be mentioned this is a horizontal shooter - I know many people who refuse to play horizontals. I just don't see anything outstanding about this one.
I love what is here though so much so that I've been sinking about 30 minutes to an hour into the game on average every single night. I'll definitely need to add the original of this to the if I ever get rich list; but I think once I move on from this one, I'm not coming back anytime soon. If I wanted to replay a cute em up, I'd much rather revisit Fantazy Zone.
