It's one I've been waiting for as well. They've been clearing a lot of my wishlist the past 6 months or so. Fingers crossed for Burning Force or Night Striker, while we're on a Namco/Taito streak.cfx wrote:It's obvious to me that my tastes are out of whack with most here (dislike of danmaku and Cave specifically) but Phelios is one of the games I've most wanted to come to ACA, and is one of the shooters on Genesis I liked most back in the day.

Ha, I remember writing that back on page 1. Good times! Guess the booze didn't kill all my braincells just yet. Still on a five-year sabbatical though. Are you my own clone?

The only difference I notice between one-lifing my MVS cartridge and PS4 ACA is the latter's slightly lessened flicker at busy spots (like blowing up st1's houses). It still slows down like it should, even the extreme slowdown at a handful of points (st5 boss, st6-2 paratroopers).

I have always liked this game back on the Genesis, but the arcade game is much better and much prettier. This is important because outside of its suped-up graphics and music, it's pretty standard and simple for a shooter. Watch my 1cc here!
Proud of my silly custom thumbnail. The 'walkthrough' is something of a running joke.
Once I set up savestates for every level section and for bosses, it was pretty straightforward to learn. The biggest chokepoints were the stage 4 boss, Antaeus (the fire giant) and the final boss Typhon. Why? Because at full power, the rank makes these fights basically unwinnable, meaning you need to -or will just flat-out- die during the boss battle to lower the boss rank in order to win. Boss health and aggression drops noticeably on death. Basically this means save two lives just for the 1cc tax!
I love how dynamic and different the stages are. Some think they're slow, but they are less like shmup stages and remind me more of an action game with all of their setpieces and new ideas/encounters. Though I think my favorites may be the fire level and the river styx, because of the non-stop aggression of enemies from all over the screen harrying you during the entire stage. I love this Namco era's bombastic orchestral soundtracks (like in Legend of Valkyrie).
