It is an unusually good soundtrack for the time! They really used the NEO GEO's large sound sample capacity to get the sound of 90's R&B / EDM

The graphics are really pretty and the soundtrack is a banger for sure, but the isometric perspective would drive me insane, especially for those boss fights.

The isometric viewpoint is the weakest parts of the game - the point at which projectiles actually register a hit with your ship is at odds with what you're eyes are seeing. Making a a bullet hell kind of shooter with a wonky perspective wasn't a great idea.

I disagree, although the perspective takes getting used to, it really makes the game unique and challenging. I can't complete the game, but I always enjoy playing when I can.

This game is a throwback to Zaxxon, a game from way back that had the same perspective. Back in those days you just rolled with it, we weren't so set in a particular mode of a particular kind of shooter at that point - that really hadn't evolved too much by that point. So you just took what you got.

Because few could afford a Neo Geo, and the titles that showed up in arcades were pretty randomly available if they weren't something like Samurai Showdown, which I found to be a lot more commonly available. I never heard of this game either and it looks super cool.

I was always a fan of this game in the arcade but it was just so damn hard I barely got past stage 2. I always felt the hit detection was off but that may have been that perspective messing with my eyes agreeing with your comments. Bosses just took too long to take down especially on a non-instant spawning shmup and having them recycled on stage four just tells me that the developers ran out of ideas.. however that being said it was an arcade game out to get your quarters. Thanks for posting this though! You sir or madam are a God for getting through this difficult game.😁
