It might not be the shooter of the century, but there’s something about it—perhaps nostalgia talking? Its atmosphere and music help it stand out despite a very traditional setup: two waves of enemies followed by a boss at the end of each level.
The “organic” environments and boss designs make its inspirations unmistakable, drawing heavily from arcade legends like Salamander (1986) and Darius (1987).
