Review agersant 3/5 · Apr 13, 2023

  • Silly but catchy eurobeat music near the end of the game
  • Nonsensical anime story that never stops blabbering …

Fast paced shooter that switches between vertical shmup, horizental shmup, and a flight sim (think star fox or after burner). Huge aresenal off different attacks including lock ons, melee, and multiple types of lasers. It also looks amazingly cool in action.

The problem is that you're given a massive amount of hitpoints, which does offset that some of the enemy shots are way too chaotic but also means that you'll end up winning half the screens by just mashing buttons and eating half the hits.
