Disclosure: This game copy was bought by the reviewer.
7 bosses, randomized enemy spawns, semi-permanent chip progression (replace 4 chip slots with better chips) and boss upgrades make up the bulk of this rogue-lite shmup dripping with retro 80s charm. The movement is fine, bullet patterns are fair (outside the final boss' car spam) and the only noticeable issues involve the audio looping for one of the songs (only experienced twice) and the sound of machine gun fire looping into a new run. This is a well made shmup that offers a challenge while still feeling reasonably balanced for those with little experience in the genre. It could use some more bosses to help with the content to price ratio, but it offers some great fights right now with a good variety of weapons and gadgets. If you enjoy shmups, you will probably find a lot to enjoy with this one.
