It's fantastic but too hard and mostly for things that require insane routing of not just level layouts, but unpredictable physics-based environmental hazards - which is still 100% more learnable than the average gradius game because you RESPAWN WITH OPTIONS INTACT but still makes this a mind-numbing and cruel torture once you get to the back half of the levels. Treasure outdid their Konami associates but I'm starting to think their panache for genre-defying gimmicks is ill-fitting for the strictness that shmup design requires.

Hot Dang it rules. Hearing Vic Viper’s name in radio static over blazing techno is just too good.

there was a time in my life I would have been an absolute freak for this. sadly that time is gone

Good game, but too hard, most from mid to end game.
I played with cheats, no problem for me.
