The graphics have a great retro feel, while still being better then any 16 bit computer/console could have ever produced.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Normally these type of games come with a pumping techno soundtrack, Steredenn opted for heavy metal instead and it fits the game superbly.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its thematic coherence, relative ease at the beginning, and challenging learning curve are a suitable introduction for people new to the genre; as well as a joy for people who regularly play shoot-em-up games.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There are multiple game modes, boss rushes, coop, and tons of replayability through the various ship archetypes, upgrades, and weapon modules (you can build into heavy rocketry, lasers, melee weapons (?!), automated drones, and more!) So what are you waiting for?!
