Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 12: Oliver Twins Collection

My expectations for this game were pretty low so im honestly happy that it surpassed those expectations by an absolute country mile. What we have here essentially is a top-down free-roam shooter where you just blast everything to bits while occasionally doing some rescuing in the process, all in the name of 'FREEDOM' and 'NATIONAL SECURITY' and the sort of stuff that would make 80s film-goers chant in unison about America... in a British game.

Its a pretty fun affair, if a little one-note in its style, the shooting is fast and furious, the explosions and constant stream of powerups makes it fun to persevere ahead and its mostly a fun time.

That said the 'rescue' mechanic sucks a bit and amounts to a rather dull rhythm minigame... Also GOOD LORD the music and sound design is all bad, flat out bad, shrieky, gritty and unpleasant to listen to. Stick this shit on mute.

Still, a competent, if rather unspectacular little shooter. Nice.
