What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
It's not that the graphics are fantastic, the music and sound effects some of the finest ever on the Mega Drive / Genesis, or that the gameplay is an amalgamation of everything that makes traditional shmups great-- it's that the level of polish and care involved in its making are nearly superhuman.

There are things I recognized to do, to adapt to, just based on using an arcade controller or having played a caravan shooter like Star Soldier R and even then I'm not amazing player when it comes to shmups.
The music is really great, it's a game that isn't going to necessarily achieve the same narrative satisfaction as a Metal Black, Gun Frontier or Einhander and the like.
Played on Steamdeck, worked perfectly, which isn't a surprise for a Megadrive game.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
