Roger at Codec Moments says: "I’ll be honest, arcade shoot em’ up games are not something I played a lot of in my life and because of this I was not sure how I was going to like this game. The genre has been around for quite some time and for very good reason. They are simple and easy to grasp for a beginner, yet require true skill to master the features and rise to the top of the leaderboards. About 20 years ago in 1994, Llamasoft released Tempest 2000 on the Atari Jaguar. It was an in space arcade shooter that challenged players to take down enemies as they approached closer on screen. Today, the same designers of the original have re-created the game and added loads of new features and levels."
