Good co-op fun, with lots of options to try again when you fail (and you will...)

This is probably for a very niche group, but if you love shmups, and classic games, this is a must have. I played the original in the arcades in Japan, as well as the Saturn version, and this is a very good port + more stuff.

If you like twin-stick shooters this is a must-have. Imagine RoboTron made by Llamasoft... frenetic but still understandable visuals, with tight gameplay.

Don't be put off by the fact this game has been in early access since 2014, it gets fairly regular patch love and is still kicking. It starts out rather simple, and gets deep if you want it to. While I wouldn't compare it to BL or some other looter/shooter types, it scratches the 'go shoot things, get rewards' itch pretty darn well.

As some other people have mentioned, this game's algorithms only detect 4/4 time signature songs with fairly steady tempos. So any song that has changing tempos or odd time signitures (and I'm a prog rock fan... *sigh*) tends to get rather loose and screwy. However, even with that said, this game has a style and a groove that keeps you playing. Even on some of my experimental music pieces, the 'course designer' has functioned well enough, producing something that was vagely like the 'shape' of the song, although the fact that I knew the music meant I anticipated some of the beats as the game quantized the locations to another time. However, it was still a fun ride. I'm still having quite a bit of difficulty handling a well known 4/4 piece on hardcore, so the difficulty can be there, but just cruising on medium feels very relaxing and almost medatative.

I intend to keep playing, and heartily recommend it to any fan of AudioSurf 1 or 2.
