At the helm of a sluggish submarine in Irem's post-apocalyptic world, you face an avalanche of fire and debris where inertia complicates every dodge. Anticipating, measuring your movements and aiming on two axes become vital against massive bosses. Atmospheric yet formidable, this horizontal shooter charms with its mood and old-school demands.
