Twin Hawk

One of the better Toaplan games, but it comes with issues. Firstly, I found the Japanese release was the only version playable due to it's slightly improved colour palette easing the problem of bullets blending into the background. Secondly, if you're playing Twin Hawk on a Steam Deck (hand-held or docked) then you'll need to edit the supplied controller layout to remove the insane amount of left stick deadzone because the initial 'soapy' movement makes it pretty much unplayable. Good news though! Once you've gotten over those initial hurdles there's one helluva good game to look forward to. Sure, It's not the greatest shooter ever made and if truth be told it's not even the best Toaplan game ever made - but it's still challenging, fun, highly addictive and has online leaderboards to add to the longevity. Oh, and one other thing included in the price was a polite reminder that my ancient eyes, dithering thumbs and mushy brain are well past the point of being able to stay in sync with one another😵‍💫 A highly recommended game if you come from an era where 'hard' was the default difficulty setting, 'rewind' was just something you did to a cassette tape and 'easy' was, erm, a tomboy called bendy Wendy after a half a bottle of Woodpecker.

A shmup different from the usual toaplan shmup. This game is a bit rigid. your ship is slow, bullet patterns are simple and easy to dodge but enemyes are a bullet sponge and sometimes hard to kill. yet is not a easy game as the enemyes are so tanky that get in close range and fire to close to react. This game is all about memorizing enemy positions, and play in a strategic way. sometimes you have to let a enemy fly away to kill the others. enemy priority killing is essential. The bullet visibility could improve specially in some areas (sdome backgrounds don´t have good contrast with bullets.right from the first stage were the backgrounds are orange and enemy bullets are yellow. It is not one of the best games from toaplan, but at least is a quite unique game and that is his biggest strength. You don´t see many shmups doing this, and the ones that do it are weaker.Also is good for quick bursts. Bitwave did a awesome port as always, with assist options like small hitbox, autofire,etc. They are perfect in everything except sound emulation (that is still good).

難易度を下げたはずなんですけど、真横から、真後ろから攻撃されます・・・・そんなシューティングです。

儿时的回忆，当年在街机厅的感觉又回来了~

相當特別的街機STG 敵方完全沒有飛行兵器都是坦克等陸戰兵器 而我方的放炸彈方式居然是所有的戰機出擊 不只能一起射擊 被敵方擊中還會用特攻 當然你也能將他們全員特攻或者集結成炸彈自爆 最好還是在適當時機用比較好

Nice game but very boring...

Very fun game to play plays great on Steam deck
