I understand critics would say it's a bad remake of an old game, but honestly, it's just how modern thotd games are: Scarlet Dawn feels similar. And as far as a remake goes, it captures original greatly, it is a mostly faithful modernization of its original. What I like the most are bonus features, which add more to the game. Thought, why wouldn't they add original OST as an option (the renditions are alright, nothing to say here). Why not include Sophie or G2/Rogan2 skins as bonuses, which were in the old PC release. Heck, why wouldn't they add the original arcade game, even as an emulation, as a bonus. It could benefit this release greatly. Still, nice game. Not bad, not amazing. The voices are the same B-horror movie tier as the original. New designs for creatures are meh for my taste, but I enjoy how they made monsters punchable and you even get points from it. So yeah, an alright game for newcomers and a nice game for fans, would love this team to remake the second game
Please for the love of Curien, don't play Saturn or PC releases of this game, try original arcade, even if it comes to emulation. You wouldn't regret it, playing with widescreen support and the best graphics from all versions of original thotd is a blast. Anyway, the game is still one of my favourites! The music, the B-movie horror dialogs, the designs of creatures. AM1's team cooked an amazing experience. If you really want to try a rail shooter, try this one!

Man, I am not an expert on shumps. But THE VIBES, THE MUSIC, THE AESTHETICS. It just hits the spot for me.
The one thing to mention: as others say, I would love this game to follow a classic structure with different stages, with single and long one it feels arcadey, which is not bad... but definitely not my favourite kind of shmup
