Bosses with homing missiles is to Compile what poison swamps is to Fromsoft. Stop doing this shit.

This is basically MUSHA reskinned and with slightly different mechanics. I like both equally, though Spriggan has the advantage of not being as absurdly hard to recover after death as MUSHA. If you happen to die and revert to your pea shooter, it's still quite a spike in difficulty, but it feels more manageable.

But the Mega Drive game has the edge when it comes to power ups granting one extra hit. The only extra hit you get in this one is a collectible shield, that also serves as a screen nuke, which I greatly appreciate

I also really really love how the power ups just keep on coming on a very steady pace. You can change your shot type constantly throughout a level, though not all of them are created equal - the homing shot was a piece of crap only useful in certain bosses.

There's a 90s-anime as hell aesthetic that makes me wish I understood what they were saying during cutscenes. Oh well.
