fox | 1,666 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Sweet little twin stick shooter that is a Genesis homebrew. Just picked this up on Switch. Anyone else check this out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 4,903 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) It's almost like a top-down Metal Slug. I might be in. Depends on the price. Wait, I thought this was a homebrew title. Any chance it will get a physical. I'd be all-in for that. Looks pretty rad. Edited November 12, 2019 by RH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br81zad | 629 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I've had this kickstarter bookmarked for a long time now just to remind me to pick it up eventually. I'd love to snag a physical copy at some point. Definitely reminds me of Smash TV meets Cyber Lip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeganJoanne | 365 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Smash TV with Alien Syndrome. And Jill Valentine! Looked like her at first anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeganJoanne | 365 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Still looks like her, well a generic copycat, but hey, close enough. Whomever designed her was probably hungry at that time and was thinking, you know what, a Jill Sandwich would be good to have, thus this character turned out looking like her. After all that Raccoon / Umbrella / zombie stuff she signed up with another group that fights aliens, kept her hat, added some more body armor, got a bigger gun, after all, these are aliens, kinda shit that Schwarzenegger and Stallone fight in Contra. Game looks like a blast though, for those short fun fast paced romps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoleGoose | 95 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Got the KS shipping notification over the weekend, whoo! This is one that I'd pick up again if it goes physical for the Switch (assuming that it is even half as good as it seems to be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how are they doing it without the 6-button pad? Would it work like NES Smash TV? (seems like it would be less comfortable than twin-d-pads on the NES to do it that way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VGCollectaholic | 111 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 My KS Collector's Edition showed up a couple days ago - #36/100. It looks awesome, love the art. The individual numbering on the dog tags matching the COA was a nice little touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,932 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I'd have to go with the vote for Shock Troopers as well on this as I own it on MVS, and blended with some Alien Syndrome (3D not original) mechanics with the powering up and what not and the alien stuff obviously. I've kept an eye out, being on the format it was originally projected for I kind of blew it off until I saw it got a posting for GoG.com so when I feel the time is right I'm going to snap that up. There are other fairly recently made throwbacks of the 90s era stuff too I'd love to get as well like Iron Fury and Project Warlock too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 This is also releasing for the Evercade later this year. Hopefully I'll get my console soon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPX | 1,369 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Thought I’d chuck in an arcade comparison - Smash TV meets Heavy Barrel. Really brings back that nostalgic feel. Definitely want to give this one a try at some stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably try it out tomorrow while my son naps. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
