ok just beat Wings of Wor

[shinsage]

pretty easy game until the second to last level, where bullets can get harder to see than Garegga's.

The boss designs are amazing, the last boss is some kind of huge demon fetus...I'm certain everyone here has seen the screens for the review here.

unfortunately level design is poor, and apparent most in level 3, where it's just the exact same repeating pattern of the corrridor and enemy placements.

I kept thinking the whole time this was a euroshmup, and was surprised to see it's actually a Japanese-developed game.

just an unfortunately drab game with some of the best boss designs on any 16-bit system.

ps fuck level 5

Couldn't agree more. I will always have a soft spot for the icky shmups and am more than a little forgiving though. A bit overlong and as you said, easy as well but I still play through it every once in a while.

Yeah, bosses were Masaya's highest point in all their shooters.

Bosses are kinda proto-Psikyo. Nice music, too.

Congrats.

<3 Stage 2's atmosphere. It made a water level feel decrepit, especially with that pitch-black dive segment.

I remember this game's print ad suggesting it'd be a bad idea to eat before playing, lol.

really interested in what the original story in this game was.
i'm chalking up the wings of wor story to regular ole shit localization back then.

a few of the special weapon combinations have angels, and the player has wings...this has got to be HEAVEN VS HELL

just gotta.

also, i prefer the american box art.

I could not agree more. The American box art is some classy stuff.
