Sut — 26 Aug 2019
Disappointing sequel. Still excellently programmed with top tier audio visuals. But the game design and playability take a hit compared to Wings of Death. The interesting morph mechanic has gone, the levels now run too long, difficulty is now too high and the enemies are bullet sponges. Still a very good shooter but unfortunately not upto the standard of Wings of Death.

Technically the best shooter on the ST - gameplay wise Wings Of Death is a tad better. This has a nice two players at a time mode - well worth playing!
