[b]Score: 6/10[/b] [list] [*][b]Graphics:[/b] The visuals clearly show the game’s age. [*][b]Music:[/b] The soundtrack is acceptable but not particularly memorable. It complements the action without adding much to the overall experience. [*][b]Ship variety:[/b] There are only three ships available, and their differences are minimal. [*][b]Visual difficulty:[/b] At times, it’s hard to distinguish enemy projectiles from the background. [*][b]Innovative mobility:[/b] The 360-degree mobility system is a unique and interesting feature. [*][b]Configuration options:[/b] The game offers flexible settings, such as adjusting lives and continues, as well as difficulty levels. [*][b]Boss battles:[/b] The bosses designs are not very varied. The final boss feels out of place compared to the rest [spoiler](its an oni?)[/spoiler]. [/list]

Je l'avais acheté sur Xbox, et vu que c'était un shoot de Psykio, j'avais beaucoup aimé. Même si ce n'était pas celui que je préféré. Peut-être le passage à la 3D? Peut-être les immondes items que nos ennemis lâches, une fois exterminés? Sur mon petit PC, il est plus joli, comme d'habitude, chaque fois que je rachète un titre... Mais ici, je n'arrive pas à jouer convenablement avec ma manette, je ne parle même pas avec mon stick arcade. Ensuite, au bout d'un moment, il plante. Le jeu ce fige, et je suis bon pour tout arrêter. Mon ordinateur n'est pas un foudre de guerre, mais bien des jeux, plus récents, et plus gourmands en ressources, tournent bien mieux, alors Zero Div, ils ont mal géré la chose?

I played this game years ago on Dreamcast and on that system it was a good shmup. As far as DC shmups go quality-wise it sits nicely in the middle between, say, Trizeal (good game but low-budget effort) and Ikaruga or Under Defeat. I am mentioning Under Defeat as that game (why is it not on Steam, by the way?!) has a similar mechanic as Zero Gunner 2, where you can rotate your helicopter to shoot in different directions. Now for the port. It's ok. When I first booted it, the controls were way too sensitive but this was down to my screen running at 240hz. This is by far not the first game that expects a screen to run at 60hz; if we change that appropriately, the speed issues are gone and it runs fine. My bigger problem is with the sound because I don't know what happened here but sound quality is very low. Checking YouTube I can tell the Switch version (on which this port is based) has the same low quality sound. Overall I can still recommend the game as it plays just fine (if you set your screen to 60hz), despite the poor quality audio.

Zero Gunner 2 is great. The music is amazing, and the game has tons of charm and soul. It’s sad they’re delisting this gem tomorrow. 9/10
