Well, the games that we have always been greeted with took the position of being a soldier of the battlefield and fighting your way through a multitude of objectives trying to complete mission after mission. We were hardly ever given the opportunity to grab the excitement and danger of dogfights from this era. Capcom saw this as an excellent opportunity to delve into this realm as a vertical shooter."

VGC writes: "Classic top-down shooters have always been a blast to play. Having to face off against wave after wave of multiple types of enemies at once has been the pinnacle of this genre. There have been many games, like Ikaruga, that have tried to change up gameplay mechanics, but most of the time the games always fall back onto the genre's core style. This isn't a bad thing though. It allows the player to reminisce about all the games of this genre that have came before it."
