Shoot 'em ups have been played the same way for decades. Star Ghost is a bold attempt at offering a unique control scheme, but will fans of the genre welcome this unorthodox change or should developers stick to the basics?
Lizard writes for P&L: "I’ve played many games over the years, but I can’t ever remember playing a game that only uses one button.

Developers Squarehead Studios and Four Horses think less is more and their Nintendo Switch release of Star Ghost pays fine testament to this."
