I would advise anyone who has not played this to pick it up. It's unlike anything else on the Engine. It has lovely audio and visuals, and can cause severe thumb fatigue.

A quite underrated shewty, probably due to its very low price and kinda cheap looking cover.
It also looks like it was the inspiration for the later zero gunner series, since you can sligthly turn your heli left and right.

A shmup that has no flaws but that is just average. It plays well, it is smooth and, as Tats said, it's cool that you can turn your heli. The graphics are poor, with no originality and the enemies look like toys rather than like huge enemy ships. Still it is not an easy shooter and the challenge makes it quite enjoyable. But once you've beat the crap out of it, you won't return to it. It lacks awesomeness in many ways.

I don't know why, but the screenshots of Avenger have always called out to me.

First impressions of Avenger are not great, but after I put some time into it, I realised that it's really a neat and overlooked shooter. The changing angle of your shots as you move adds a nice element to the gameplay. It has some nice tunes too - and some of the full screen pictures are just amazing.
