"Great shooter."
date: January 21, 2005
It is, for the most part, true to the style of classic verticall scrollers. Clouds of enemy fire shot in various patterns, diverse enemies, and the weapon upgrades that make you jump into the hell at the risk of being anihilated. There is only one slight minus. In a vertical shooter the ballance between offence and defence is a key element. This game doesn't quite force you into offencive. In most places, just dodging enemy fire and shooting without carrying too much at what you hit is sufficient. There are a couple of waves where shooting the right targets first is almost necessary, but these are more of an exception. So the only reason to jump into the dense enemy fire is to pick up various bonuses.
