Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 14: Atari Lynx Collection 2
I dont.... Hate it.... But its certainly an argument for why vertical shmups on systems like this just dont work very well. While graphically the game is absolutely on point and the sheer amount of destructible items is very fun, everythings just squished together far too much, throw in some rather chunky hitboxes and the difficulty often doesnt feel very fair and seems to rely on you being able to tank the occasional bit of damage thanks to the game using life-bars vs a 1 hit and die system.
Its annoying because it does a lot right and the moments of fun are good but the claustrophobic gameplay is a bit too much.
