Fast Striker
A fast, furious and fun shoot ‘em up that brings some interesting gameplay changes into its different modes. Doesn’t do anything groundbreaking but plays like a dream and looks and sounds exactly as you remember shmups do!

Fast Striker Review - PS4, Vita
Fast Striker pays homage to the original game, but it offers very little in regards to modernization. Fast Striker has some simple, intriguing elements to it, but it lacks the polish of other games in the genre.

I can still remember the countless days of my childhood spent smashing my thumbs into that awkwardly shaped Sega Saturn controller, playing games like Galactic Attack.

In review, Fast Striker is a difficult, but scrappy homage to the shoot ‘em ups of old. Its Neo Geo graphics, while nostalgic, don’t particularly stand out, and use an ugly palette of colours. The lack of additional gameplay features, especially powerups is its most egregious sin, but the experience is still an enjoyable one, if only for ten minutes at a time. On a PS Vita and for short bursts, this could provide entertainment for a bus journey or two. On PS4, however, it doesn’t cut the mustard, and fails to stand out from the many, many indie shoot ‘em ups available on the Store.
