    This game is a massive improvement over Raptor in every single way. The only thing that is stupid is the readability of your ship/shots and explosions. It's bad. The fact that the remaster is worse in that category is baffling. The best way to play this game is legacy. This maybe was good in 1997, but it needs severe changes in regards to visual design for the 2023 re-release.

    The bosses are always the same thing in a different package and the stages are not very challenging or interesting with things just hastily scattered coming toward you. The music and the graphics are gorgeous, but too bad for the gameplay. Recommended if you're nostalgic for this, but otherwise just play Tyrian or Raptor.
