Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.29/day in the week to Jul 30 → 0.29/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Great fun
Cool little top down SHMUP from the legendary Neo-Geo. Multiple characters, multiple routes, heavy weapons, gore, big explosions, rocking music, co-op and more await you here. A steal on a discount.
雖然說是1997年的街機遊戲,但是有一個特點放在當時可以說是非常前衛。 [b]「這款街機遊戲有迴避無敵啊!」[/b] 那個年代的射擊遊戲說真的沒幾款有迴避功能的,更別說迴避時間為無敵狀態,光這點就很讓人值得一玩了。 [b]「這款街機遊戲還有多重路線啊!」[/b] 是的,這款遊戲並非線性關卡,雖然在當年有些街機遊戲本身就有兩種路線,但這款遊戲是「初始給你三個路線作為選擇」,以這點來說還是挺前衛的。 [b]●遊戲時間[/b]: 30~50分鐘 (依路線而異) [b]●遊戲難度[/b]: 難度較高,具有難度選擇機制 [b]●續命機制[/b]: 可以設定為無線續命可以放心通關,另外還有20次續命以及10次續命讓玩家挑戰自己的極限 雖然這款俯瞰視角遊戲放在現代,那個射擊方式真的可以說是特別反人類,但撇除這點來看其實這款遊戲是相當優秀的作品,如果你想體驗那一個年代的懷舊魅力的話那麼請務必購入試試看。
кайфец игра, я балдю
This is a run and gun game, it will be fun if you play with friends. The achievements are not too hard to get but it will take a lot of time. I got all the achievements after 10 hours of playing the game. Have fun.
Does it work? yes. how is it comparable with the original neogeo? this port does indeed feel like a downgrade graphical version of the arcade. i emulated the neogeo arcade version of this game on my rg35xx plus and the explosion colors pop out much more on their than it does here. I mean there was no frame drop or anything playing it here but when comparing it to the neogeo yes theres a graphical difference of colors. Things looked more "HD" on the RG than it did on these ports. get it when its on sale
Terrible port. The input lag is atrocious, it feels like playing under water. Don't even bother with this one.
