ACA NEOGEO GHOST PILOTS

Ghost Pilots

Ghost Pilots is a classic case of SNK saying “Look, we can do it too!” in Capcom's general direction, but believing that in every shooter more enemies means a better game was a mistake. It truly is a fantastic hardware showcase of what the AES could do, but from the player's perspective it quickly becomes an infuriating exercise of unfair deaths followed by inserting fresh credits until you manage to make your way to the end - at least now we don’t have to put in real quarters to continue. Ghost Pilots is recommended only to the die-hard digital Neo Geo collector who has exhausted all other shmup avenues already available on the Switch. More sensible players should look at Video System and Psikyo’s better offerings instead.
