A rare horizontal shoot-'em-up from Psikyo, it transposes the studio's harshness into a feudal-fantasy Japan: fast waves, durable bosses and tight fire that grant little respite. Choosing your hero, dosing your charged attacks and anticipating the assaults govern success. Brisk and readable, it satisfies arcade fans seeking a retro challenge with an unmistakable signature.
Complete: box, manual and disc/cart very clean. Lightly handled.

A port of Psikyo's vertical shooter Sengoku Ace, here in a European edition distributed by Atlus with its Asian steampunk styling. The PAL market for Psikyo shooters is narrow and pressings modest, making the complete edition less common than in Japan. Value stays measured, explained by a regional manic-shooter niche rather than any real cult aura around this particular title.
