VALLATION - SOKURAH, REDBALLOON
THIS CYBERNOID STYLE SHOOTER IS A REMAKE OF THE 2013 C64 GAME OF THE SAME NAME. THE WHOLE PACKAGE HAS A LEVEL OF POLISH THAT MANY NEW RELEASES LACK. AFTER REDBALLOON'S AMAZING GRAPHICS, THE THING I NOTICE IS THIS GAME PLAYS FAST AND APPEARS SMOOTH, THIS IS DOWN TO THE 2 PIXEL MOVEMENT AT 50FPS, WHICH WORKS BEST FOR A SHMUP IN MY OPINION. LEVEL DESIGN IS GOOD, AND AS DIFFICULTY INCREASES IT GETS BETTER AND BETTER. THE WORST THING ABOUT THIS GAME IS THE FEEBLE PEASHOOTER OF THE PLAYER SHIP, OFTEN YOU FIND YOURSELF SAT HOLDING FIRE ON AN UNCHALLENGING ALIEN. TO BE FAIR THIS IS A PROPERTY OF THE ORIGINAL GAME ITSELF, AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE ADDRESSED IN THE CASSETTE RELEASE.
QUALITY SHOOTING FUN. 4/5
