I wasn't expecting much from this game, and it's certainly A First Person Dungeon Crawler From 1994 with all that that entails, but I have not stopped thinking about this game since I beat it. I am enamored. The atmosphere is perfect and the combat, while clunky, has a certain rhythm that you pick up on by the time you leave the first floor. If you put in a little time to get used to the way the game is I feel like it's a pretty rewarding experience. The game is also pretty short so it's the perfect game to stay up all night and finish.
Fond memories of playing the shit out of this as a kid. Nothing too groundbreaking but the submarine theming does make it stand out among a sea of aerospace shooters. Spritework is really nice too, as expected of the team behind Metal Slug. I like that the PS version had alternate soundtracks available but the originals are almost all better.
I actually wrote this game off as a Snake's Revenge type situation a long time ago and never bothered to even acknowledge it let alone give it a try. But this game actually fucking rocks. Maybe I'm just a sucker for graze but energy mode feels very satisfying to play and the scoring mechanics manages to avoid a lot of the tedium I usually dislike. Say what you will, it's the game that convinced CAVE to stay in the arcade business.
