Bondage, incest and winged men coming from behind - Everything I Want In A Shmup!

Hated this at first but kind of eased into it a little, still pretty meh overall. Enemy health is a major issue, it feels like the vast majority take more hits than they should, especially in a shmup. Bosses can be pretty nasty too, although at least I enjoyed the last one a good deal more than his predecessors. Also in Greek mythology Apollo (your character) and Artemis (your "damsel in distress") are twins so the whole plot is like lol

A decent shm'up but certainly not the best on the Genesis. As others have pointed out, it's difficult, but that is mainly due to enemies being bullet sponges and having a rather large hitbox that is (somehwat) mitigated by the fact that you can take a few hits before dying and being yeeted back to a checkpoint.

Still, I had fun with this one thanks to its Greek Mythology theme as well as that satisfying bowling ball sound effect whenever you take out a row of enemies. The charging mechanic is also integral to success and it was a lot of fun learning how to time it in order to deal more damage to enemy waves and bosses.

Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 6: Namco vol 2

The first level basically sells a big adventure but once thats done its down to earth with a real bump as you quickly go from fast and fun shooting to slow shooting in drab levels. Unlike a couple of people here, I actually found this game to be a little on the easy side and even then, the game never picked itself up to the point of that first level. Such a shame really.
