What makes this somewhat mediocre (but also fun, IMO) beat em up is you actually play through the game as the 'returned supermen' in accordance with source lore (at least as best i can recollect) each of the supermen have slightly different attacks. Also each of the characters you play through are actually progressive better, stronger attacking characters. For this alone I think the game deserves a star. It also has other creative bits like these wonky and weird horizontal SHMUP stages that show up every now and then (l find that they look quite silly but they're actually fun!)
