Review ApramPepo 4/5 · Dec 7, 2022

I would've said "a Hidden Gem" but...

It's ridiculously expensive!

It's surprisingly fun Arcade shooter, but it takes a little bit of time to understand. The music is fun with a surprisingly good art style that is simple yet perfect.

It's ridiculously expensive!

It's surprisingly fun Arcade shooter, but it takes a little bit of time to understand. The music is fun with a surprisingly good art style that is simple yet perfect.

Gameplay offers some variety to the player, but remember this is a Arcade Shooter on the NES. so things are going to be Ape Sh!t all over the screen most of the time. It still does make you feel unstoppable if you're doing great as a reward (I think, I don't know, It was an awesome feeling)

The game tries to offer different stages but for the most part they'll be "Background with different color". There will be some elements to differentiate each level (Phase).

Controls are the worst part of this game. You need to relax your hand every 2 minutes or so because you're rapidly pushing the buttons fast to fire with every projectile coming towards you but not to an extreme level. "cough" Ghosts 'N Goblins "cough"

You'll also find a somewhat decent Plot that the game will work around with it. It can get you invested enough in the game but not to an extreme level, but it is more than does the job.

Sqoon is not bad but I wouldn't recommend for the price. "cough" I played it with an emulator "cough"
