Type: | Shooter |
Language: | Japanese |
Premise: | A 3D first-person perspective arcade shooter whose plot concerns the misadventures of a superdeformed red-headed witch. This was but one of many products inspired by a well-known and popular Japanese manga character. |
Impressions: | Gameplay is actually halfway decent, with lots of oncoming stuff to dodge and shoot. Lots of powerups, and options which can fly in different formations. Graphically, this game is astounding - from the picturesque anime-style cinemas to its polygonal scrolling backgrounds. Unfortunately, the scaling is rather choppy - as is common with games of this type. It's no competition for the SNES StarFox, but man - it was oh-so-cool for the time. |

Recommended Emu: | Genecyst X (has noticable problems with the backgrounds) |
