Reviews
- Excellent graphics and visual quality with modern 3D models that maintain the spirit of the original.
- Super tight, responsive controls with zero input lag and customizable speed settings.
- Strong nostalgic appeal with faithful soundtracks from original composer, plus engaging story mode with well-crafted motion comics.
- Difficulty balance issues: game generally feels easier than classic shmups and some weapons (notably white homing shot) are overpowered.
- Level pacing can feel slow and stretched out, resulting in occasional repetitive or tedious moments.
- Arcade mode and difficulty options unlock late or are limited; lack of some modern features like replay system and better checkpoint respawn options.
