how the FUCK they named this game like that and seeing no problem at all
Subpar, repetitive shooter with more than a little lifted artistic license.
This is easily the worst Sunsoft game for the NES, so steer clear of this version. It's insanely mediocre, and there's almost nothing redeeming about it. It isn't the worst, but it's pretty bad either way.
I really tried my preteen ass off to beat this one on Lynx.
This is a review for the NES version, made by Sunloft.
Really fucking boring game, just walk around and shoot things, it's not fun at all tbh, really slow paced and lame. Sprites are pretty boring to look at as well.
There's little to no music at all in this game.
This game just seems really lazily made, just nothing interesting here, maybe it'd be more fun in the 2 player co-op mode, which I didn't play.
Probably not worth checking out for anyone.

Actually superior on the Atari Lynx than in the arcade, if only because it cut down on the number of buttons needed to perform actions. Still not by enough though, separate buttons for standing up and crouching? Really? Nobody thought to make that a toggle, or better yet just pushing up/down on the controller?
Still, a little better than the arcade version. Being able to play as one of the Xenos was a cool idea, but that relied upon knowing other people who were daft enough to buy an Atari Lynx and I maintain that no owner of that console ever met someone else who owned one. Oh how I'd have loved to have tried this game in mulitplayer though.
