Yes its a lot like Ikari Warriors, but thankfully this game plays a hell of a lot better. Here, your character has some actual manueverability unlike the og Ikari Warriors games. Plus, it breaks it up a bit by adding side scrolling sections and even a small shoot em up section. The graphics are nice and colorful and the soundtrack was good too. These guys should try doing a nes contra clone.
Ehh... Almost but not quite. Kinda like Ikari Warriors, kinda like guerilla war, kinda like Mercs but doesn’t quite hit the sweet spot of either like blazing chrome and cyber shadow do for their respective counterparts.

Run n Gun favourite indie game for the PC. As a fan of Ikari Warriors, Commando and Heavy Barrel this was a welcome retro challenge. The music and level design well presented and planned. The addition of a hardcore mode as suggested to the developers is a nice touch.
[h1]Описание:[/h1] Очередной проект SEEP под ретро игры. 5 бодрых уровней, 5 боссов, несколько режимов игры. Картинка как всегда получилась красивой, а вот геймплейно что-то не очень порадовало. Стрельба наискось крайне неудобная, боссы неинтересные, а сама игра уж сильно короткая и можно пробежать за 15-20 минут. Не самый лучший проект автора, но и не худший. Порадовал выбор уровней и то что когда проигрываешь добавляют кредиты (континиумы). Рекомендую, но если вы впервые играете в игры SEEP то лучше начать с чего-то более интересного.

Pretty cool run n gun with a nice variety of weapons. :) I can see myself spending some time with this...
I got this for $0.49. It is a well made Ikari Warriors style game. You can pick from two characters, and it'll keep you engaged for a couple fun filled minutes. It's $0.49, there isn't anything to complain about at that price.
Anyone who grew up playing the SNK game IKARI WARRIORS should love this one. Top/Down Run & Gun Shooter (RGS) at it's indie finest. I can't recommend this game enough. I like what they did with this game. My only complaint is that I can't use my XBOX controller I had to use a SEGA Genesis type pad. I'd like a sequel but dunno if that'll happen.
Thunderflash is much more boring and flawed than it looks. The shots are too slow and the game needed to be a twin stick shooter.
Thunderflash pros: //fast game with modern day graphics with easy controls that moves from location A to B to C and so on cons: //some difficult battles //some traps and enemy attacks cannot be evaded //good game Personal Suggested Purchase Price: $0.49 Or Less During Sale
Seems strange to give a negative rating to a game that doesn't have any big flaws, yet I didn't enjoy [b]Thunderflash[/b]. The movement and shooting are slow, the line of fire at times stupidly narrow (so you may turn to shoot an enemy coming behind you and still miss him), the levels unexciting, some sections overstaying their welcome (the jetpack, the ladder before the final boss). Bosses too are nothing special, with the final two being oddly easier than the earlier ones; some also look way too different and better than the rest of the graphics, to the point of making me suspicious of where they could have been lifted from. Even the extra survival mode is nothing to write home about. I get it's a deliberate choice to imitate the earliest of the games they took inspiration from, but no ability to shoot in a direction while moving in another feels awkward nowadays, and could have been achieved without some twin-stick control (many old games did that by simply holding the fire button). It's not like they didn't try: besides those bosses, the graphics look like something that could be from an arcade game made in 1987 or so to cash in on [b]Ikari Warriors[/b], 4:3 aspect ratio included, and there are appreciable attempts at mixing things up with shmup sections. The extra part of the ending reveals more of an already clear connection with [b]Dragon Climax[/b]. Not enough to redeem the game in my eyes; maybe I had too high expectations after the previous SEEP release, the hidden gem that was [b]Katana Soul[/b].
