Overview
Space based vertically scrolling shoot ‘em up, similar in style to Super Star Solider, but far more challenging.
You say...
Nexzr - oh no, another space themed shooter! But though this one came late in the Engine's life, it's one of the greatest shooters on the system, and sadly quite expensive now. It often gets passed over by those not in the know for the other greats on the system, like Gate of Thunder/Winds of Thunder, but this one stands alongside them. The game is a culmination in learning not just advanced techniques - some of the most impressive you'll see on the system - but they learn from other great games, and polish the genre to it's height at this era. The game starts with a plot; your female wing man is blown up by an enemy pilot in a red mech suit - the same one on the box art. The game is a frantic chase through enemy lines to exact revenge upon this man.
The first thing you'll notice, is that this game is beautiful. On the first level, you start in a warzone, where giant battleships warp on-screen. The art is beautiful throughout, the gameplay is crisp and responsive, difficulty is challenging but fair, and gosh, the music is incredible. Do yourself a favour and have a listen if you haven't yet. It doesn't feel fair to compare this to Super Star Soldier, but it does feel like someone went back to that game at the end of the PC Engine's life, and remade it with everything else they'd learned from every game between the two.
