Solid vertical shmup. Aesthetically the 194X series isn't really my biggest cup of tea seeing as I'm more of a cute-em-up preferring goblin. Lots of big mechanical setpieces to blast things through and honestly the enemy/bullet placements and patterns are pretty engaging even to novice shmup noobs like me! I didn't even really mean to play this all the way through I just picked the first game on the list on one of the capcom arcade compilations and was engaged enough to see it through to the end. yeehaw
