I finally got to play the "spiritual sequel" to
Thunder Force V... the game so panned, it was taken off store shelves within a month or two when the makers revealed they didn't do half of what they'd planned, but released it anyway. Yes,
Broken Thunder is on my PC now, and this forgotten chapter in the Thunder Force saga is as rough, unfinished and amateurish as everything you've heard.
But I got it
P.S. The music is pretty nice though. Should be, since the guy/band who did the music for TFV,
Hyper Duel and
Blast Wind did it.
