Defunct Games reviews Horizon Shift '81 by Flump Studios, available November 20 on Nintendo Switch (coming soon to PlayStation 4).

Much like the name suggests, Horizon Shift '81 is a fun throwback to an era when games like Space Invaders ruled the arcades. It's also an exceptional sequel that not only improves on the original, but fully realizes the potential of its killer gimmick. With six different modes, tons of power-ups and 36 stages of challenging bad guys, there's a lot to explore in Flump Studios' newest shooter. This is one of the best shoot 'em ups available on the Nintendo Switch.
