Tedious classically designed arcade shmup where the developers blindside you with "gotcha!" deaths. The stages are twice as long as they should be. Theres a point in the game where you suddenly get bombarded with bomb pick ups and power-ups and you might be under the impression that the game is ramping up to some crazy final boss but nope....thats the halfway point. Forced myself to finish this one and while I generally don't coun't shmups as "completed" unless I 1CC them, Truxton is going to be an exception.

The only thing Truxton has going for it is the neat Skull Faced Bomb explosion it has. I honestly think thats the only reason its kind of managed to stick around in the shmup public consciousness. There are better shmups out there. Truxton isn't really worth playing or learning.
