-Switch Version-

Vertical shoot em up that gives you both a forward focused shot and a wide spread attack that shoots a smaller spread in front of you and at each diagonal point of your ship. Five different powerups can be used that fire with you main weapon a laser that penetrates anything, a fire shot that explodes in an area after hitting something, two rings that circle around you, homing missiles, and a spread shot that is weak but covers a good amount of what is in front of you. Enemies, stages, and bosses are fairly simple visually and the gameplay is more focused on wiping out entire groups of enemies for bonus points and building chain kills, though one stage does have you moving along a large ship as its turrets fire at you and hangers releases other enemies. Music is good. Simple on the normal difficulty but can offer a challenge if you try the other two. Kind of a dull end section where you fight all the bosses again before the final boss appears.

The PC version has a more PC Engine look to it while the Switch version still somewhat retains that style but is given a more detailed look.
