A shmup either needs to nail every aspect of the genre, or it needs a gimmick to stand out. This does the latter, with a fun use of the ship's satellites.
Games Asylum: "This horizontal shooter features more than a few gimmicks. The exact figure is up for debate – some are more predominant than others, while shoot’em up veterans may feel like some of its ideas are on the verge of becoming commonplace within the genre."
