Fans of Japanese 2D shooters like Gradius and R-Type won't want to miss this. Supercharged Robot Vulkaiser is an otaku's wet dream, filled with swarms of bullets, cute anime girls, and ridiculous Engrish. Players pilot the titular supercharged robot through a bullet hell in order to prevent the destruction of the human race at the hands of the evil Gogoh military group. You can attach various power-ups to Vulkaisers arms, and each level ends with a suitably epic boss fight.
Gary Hartley Writes: VULKAISER is lunch break shooting. Seeing off all six levels should only take you a few trial runs before you’re comfortable enough to smash through the stages without a game-over, and there’s something refreshing about the bite-sized scrolling as opposed to the eye-watering slogs other shoot-em-ups feel obliged to become. Add to that the gloriously over-the-top veneer of 1970’s anime -- did I mention you have access to a rocket punch? -- and those of you clamoring for Voltron Abridged -- The Video Game finally have your wish.
While it doesn't do a whole lot with the visual and audio power of its 70's anime theme, Supercharged Robot VULKAISER is still a fun shmup with some interesting ideas.
"Supercharged Robot VULKAISER is a new title by Astro Port, creators of shoot ’em ups such as Satazius, Gigantic Army and Armed Seven. This time you get a hold of your own 70’s anime mecha – Vulkaiser, coupled with your buddies, VulFighter team, and professor Amamori in order to save the Earth from a formidable foe from the far reaches of space!" - Rice Digital
