Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
141 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The controller support is nice, the presentation is good (some lovely pixel art in here), and the main mechanic- taking over ships- is a pretty fun twist to build the game around.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
78 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It does a much better attempt at a story than 90% of games in the space shooter genre, which is...not saying a lot.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Which is another good thing in my opinion, since SHMUPs just feel especially good with that kind of graphics.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I really enjoyed the sound effects as well, they mostly sounded like something you'd hear on an 8 bit machine, mixed with some sounds that I swear sounded like they came right from an Atari 2600.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a sidescrolling arcade shooter with many unique enemies that have certain movements and weapons that they fire at you, with the best part of this being the game's main feature, that you can take control of any of these enemies.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Overall I would only recommend for some co-op fun with friends, but don't expect to actually complete the game (without tearing your hair out).
