this is better than metal slug games for me on the simple premise I can move in more directions than you could as a 2D side scroller so in theory I have a better sense of avoiding attacks (I died a lot nontheless). visually pretty good and it was a decently lengthed game. twin stick controls would probably feel great in this game
Yeah, it's a pretty good run and gun. Places well under METAL SLUG on the personality scale - somewhere above CONTRA but below GUNSTAR HEROES. It's fine, nothing about it really stands out beyond SNK's usual reasonably high standards. There are like 10 playable characters and one of them is a big muscle lady, so that's pretty great, I suppose.
