Formation Armed F
Genre: shooter - vertical
Publisher: Pack-In-Video
Year: 1990
System: PCE
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Extremely simple gameplay. Low difficulty. Quickly get a powerful set of weapons and subweapons. Each stage gives you a different weapon but it's not tailored to the stage or anything, so it doesn't feel well designed. Most of the weapons favor shooting horizontally or backward, which isn't useful most of the time. Fast movement and responsive controls are notable, but this is a game I wouldn't revisit.
Level Design Score: 4
Level Design Notes:
Good stage design, with stages themed around environmental hazards, enemy waves, or both. Better than average.
Theme Score: 4
Theme Notes:
Generic space shooter, but with a cutesy, rounded, biological aesthetic. Fancies itself as an R-Type clone, I guess.
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Colorful but unimpressive. Flat artwork. The screen does a weird perspective shift as you move up or down the screen. Kind of cool.
Audio Score: 4
Audio Notes:
Great chiptun soundtrack
Overall Score: 68
