Fairly blah shoot-em-up with dragons in lieu of flying vehicles. Collect weapon power--ups in the shape of "P"-labeled crates and flying 1P icons; they will boost both your regular firepower and sideweapons (homing missiles, lasers, etc.). You have a "Banish" meter (?) at the top near your score; this is filled by shooting and hitting the enemy-- and when there's at least some of the meter filled you can HOLD down the fire button to release a continuous spray of deadly dragon breath that stops when the meter is drained empty, though you can release the button and the meter will stop draining. You can choose from 3 different dragons: Altair, Schwartz, and Ferious-- I am partial to Ferious's side missiles. Each also have a bomb as a secondary weapon. This game deserves a bullet hell designation at times, but there are certainly tougher such games. Ground targets may yield bonus point items-- as measly as gold bars or as rewarding as lucrative icons worth up to 10,000 points! All in all, this game needed more pizzazz.. suggested by YouTube user Mongoarcademan.
