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.

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.
