Strikers on the Neo feels like they tried to cram a vert shooter onto a hori screen, as opposed to say Mars Matrix or Radiant Silvergun where they feel like they were made for the hori screen.

While it may be one of the better Neo shooters, compared to the rest of the Striker series it feels like a bastard child.

Thank you for the explaination!
Well, it sure is a pretty bastard child and it plays great, but I can see what you mean.


Never mind the colossal conceptual differences & who cares about scoring systems anyway? There's a war theme somewhere in-between those bullets and Toaplan's poltergeist haunts this game ever so often.

Well, yeah. When the OP asks about war-themed shmups then this is a main factor.

You can play pulstar in verts as well

Right until you realize that your left is up, your up is right, your right is down & your down is left. Sure, it works ...if you're actually not playing the game, but since you're a designated Pulstar collector now -- I rest my case ;).

Absolutely right. It was just sixpenny funstering...
