I agree with Patrick, why is this a bullet heel shooter? The premise is too good to be wasted on a genre that doesn't need a set up

Why do some users just repeat other peoples comments?

As a history major at a liberal arts university, I can say with absolute certainty that this game is 100% historically accurate.

@SharkMan: It means they agree with what they said and were going to say it themselves but instead just quote it to give due credit since the other person said it first.

Repeat 14 times during the quick look. It wasn't even funny the first time.

Never been a fan of this style of smups, much prefer the simpler upgrade system type. Graphics and music are nice though.

Fuck yeah, Tyrian!  You're awesome for that, Jeff.  Best damn side-scrolling shooter in the history of the world.

This game is fucking awesome. I've never had more fun in a bullet hell shooter. When you get the hang of Vaunting for offence and defence and using whichever ship's special attack you choose it's surprisingly fun, without getting too frustrating.

Positioning yourself to not be hit by something is one of, if not my very least Favorite thing about video games from the 90's and into the early 2000's and just in general. I hated that part of Starfox, I hated that part about the bosses in Zelda.
