“Finally got to beat the game without spending all my coins! The only problem is the janky camera movement snapping crosshair out of place. Oher than that it's a perfect copy of the OG arcade game”
“A bit to expensive.. $30 but it's a very good remake! Way easier on a mouse than on controller. Sound and gameplay are the be expected, very well done.. The QoL improvments are great.”
“TLDR: A rail shooter with very little replayability and awful story. Is it fun? Yeah! Does it get boring fast? Yeah! Is it worth buying? Well, that depends on you. I think it's the equivalent of enjoying a McDonald's…”

“works perfectly, i dunno why people say the game is not worked. feel nostalgic. Still remember about the weakness boss & all enemy. But, in 2022 there's better font dude. My eyes so hurt to read all word in game”
“I have no issues running the game. The pointer visibility is attrocious, but you can change its color. If you fan of the original one, then buy it on a deep disount.”
“Classic shoot em arcade style. Game is smooth as butter. Finished campaign in 35 mins.”

“This game is graphically impressive but there are plenty of issues with it. 1. Lightgun support - Most people will buy this game thinking they will get lightgun support out the box. You dont. If you own a Sinden…”
“It's a pretty good remake from the original. Game ran well with no hiccups and graphics are good (Better then the Switch tho) First run was almost a good one. but accidently killed the scientist in Chapter 2 and died…”

“Este es, sin duda, el peor remake que he jugado. No sé si es el peor de todos, pero se esfuerza bastante.El soundtrack es horrible: genérico y molesto, nada que ver con el original. Los personajes tienen cero…”

— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“this game is good, but it's too short? I mean, I actually finished this game in about 50 minutes and the gameplay itself is a bit boring because I can only use a pistol here, unlike other Light Gun Shooter games I've played as a kid where there are other weapons I can use. But…”
— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“The game wouldn't run and I had to load a save file that had the game settings set to 720p to get it to run, and got 18 achievements that I didn't want. The game is good, but if you don't have the patience to spend 30 minutes searching for a solution to run the game don't buy it…”
