Is Future Wars - Mirai Senshi Lios still worth playing in 2026?
A sci-fi horizontal shoot-em-up published by Taito, Future Wars Mirai Senshi Lios sends a pilot against robot armies in a dystopian future, across snappy levels with varied shooting and power-ups. The pace, the readability and the science-fiction mood make it a solid shooter, in the genre's good tradition on the machine. The presentation stays decent and the difficulty tough. An honest pick for fans of overlooked NES horizontal shooting and explorers of the console's Famicom catalog.
