The weapon changing system is unique and adds a fun twist to gameplay.
The port is solid with modern conveniences like small hitboxes, autofire, and rewind functions.
The game is very fun and challenging, especially for fans of arcade shooters.

Hitboxes are not very good, and input delay can be noticeable.
The game can feel unfair and twitchy at max level, which may frustrate some players.
Emulation issues and distracting bugs detract from the overall experience.
