I love bugs, and I love shmups, but there's something lackluster about this game that I can't quite place...maybe it's the size of the player sprite? I hate shmups with an unnecessarily large player ship...unless it's a mech. Then, it's somehow excusable...
It appears to be a mediocre game...but the more you play it, you realize that some of it is nicely crafted.
I still enjoy going back and playing through it.
It grows on you. It never "wows" audiences with anything completely unique, but it won me over for simply being an honest, decent shootemup using the Xevious formula (air-to-air main gun, air-to-ground bombs for ground targets). I consider it an under-appreciated shootemup. DISCLAIMER: I love Dragon Spirit, which uses the same formula, so I have a soft spot for these games.
I have grown to love CyberCore.
I hope to make it my bride.
BONUS: This game has a neat sound test.
