Compared to other Psikyo shooters I've played, Samurai Aces isn't quite as impressive, but it's still interesting enough to warrant a recommendation in my opinion. Positives: - The playable characters are unique and have fun and humorous stories to play through. Most of their endings are silly and basically serve as cheesy punchlines (which I prefer to stories that take themselves too seriously). - The characters play differently too, with different weapons of course, but also different speeds, bombs (some of which can save you instantly from being hit, while others have a delayed reaction during which you are still vulnerable), and charge attacks. - The bosses are varied and well-designed, including some that are huge with destructible parts. A team of robot ninjas make repeat appearances, giving a sense of cohesion to the flow between stages. Negatives - This is way harder than the other Psikyo games I've played so far. Even in Monkey Mode (the easiest difficulty) I had to increase...
