A cross between games like Gravity Force and Chop Lifter, with some weird 8-way shooting controls thrown into the mix. The weapon selection / firing is a bit strange, but you mostly just shoot until everything is dead or you run out of ammo so it feels like a pointless mechanic

This game almost seems like somebody tried to recreate Choplifter completely from memory, but started to get it confused with Fort Apocalypse, and finally just threw in elements of Robotron for good measure. (And it's AWESOME!)

"Arcade" mode is basically Choplifter, while the "campaign" is Fort Apocalypse! But reworked as twin-stick shooters. Wonderful!

Really love it. does a 'retro game' right. Fast gameplay, lots of personality and charm, good challange, convincing and consistent graphic / sytle. Love the sub weapons (those green bombs man). Going to see this one through that's for sure! The english text in the game isn't written so well but you can understand it. 9 / 10
