Sega announced a Mega Drive 2 Mini and I thought why not play all the games as they're getting announced. Not sure how far I'll get with this but it doesn't hurt to try. I thought this would be the best one to start off with since I played the Ages version earlier this year.
I still really like this game despite being awful at it. It's no secret that I'm awful at schmups. This game is brutally hard at least for me. Even on easy it can still be pretty tough though I do find after this third playthrough I've gotten a little better. While there are a couple of other schmups I'd rather play on the console, this one is still worth trying. Shoutouts to the presentation as well, it's really great minus the questionable slowdown at times.
Also what's with the US name? Lightening Force is such a dumb name.
