Looks like a solid game! It’s a shame it goes for as much money as it does.

great review, but yeah, 100 dollars for a shoot em up….no thanks

Awesome review! I just read about this game in the past week on other site. I think the stars of the game are two sisters who are sent to beat the bad guys at the harmful park by their mom. Thanks I think Retroware TV needs more horizontal shooter videos (and vertical shooter videos too).

I have played some of those games a very little bit but they are also generally very expensive. However I agree that they seemed interesting.

holy shit more ben. glad to see your back on the site dude. great video btw, im not a fan of “cute em ups” but that game looks amazingly good. and to me a stunning example of how there needs to be more 2D games being made nowadays. cause with more memory/a more powerful system. 2D graphics can look really amazing when done right

Ben1842

I agree, 2D is beautiful if done well.
I think new consoles move away from it because of the price of HD pixelated art being animated. Vanillaware is an excellent example of a company that does it but barely stays in business.
However with the Price of 3D ever rising, at some point I hope 2D will become a viable option again.

Ben Rules. It seems often times RWTV is kind of slow in producing content and if Ben can keep pumping out new videos every few weeks at least that would make me SO HAPPY.

Well, I stick around RWTV because I think the content that gets produced and created is very high quality, informative, and enjoyable. That wasn’t intended as an insult to anyone who produces content here; it was just earnest appreciation at the prospect of have more content from more contributors thus creating more frequent updates.

I have that shirt. =-) now that I think about it…I have a lot of Rocky shirts. lol

Cool review. Not a fan of shoot’em ups…or even cute’em ups. Just not my style of game. Fun to check it out anyway though. =-)

I’m not a big shoot em up fan either, but sometimes a game just strikes my fancy. I totally understand if it’s not for you.

Enjoyable review, but I found the volume of the music distracting.

I know that when Jew Wario reviewed this he said that you could get the game for 600 yen (about $6) on the Japanese psn.
