Clearly a lot of effort when into the gameplay and design of that game and it has a great soundtrack too. I think I played both games around the same time and had a blast with both
Good call. Amazing gameplay in that one.
Yeah, part beat'em up, part shmup and part run and gun. Nice mix of styles. I love the balance of enemies and bosses too. There's plenty of interesting low level enemies that are fun and challenging to fight, and each stage throws multiple bosses at you as well. Plus, two (three after you beat the game) characters with COMPLETELY different combat styles. The third, unlockable character made me love the game even more when she showed me a completely new way to play the game
The Red Star was one of those games when I could just fall right into a zone, weaving through bullet patterns in a zen like state, and fighting off multiple foes without anyone even touching me. It all felt very intuitive to me. Great game
