    Dux [DC]

    Well, it's not as hard as No Hope, which is nice.

    Still getting used to the sprite sized hitbox - I'm so used to sneaking through bullet swarms these days, that old school shooters seem dead hard.

    Lots going on, so lots to learn - enemies and bullets arriving from everywhere.

    A weird organic tech look to it, even though everything is white in the background. Reminds me of Portal a little. Easy to see what's going on though, which is the important bit.

    A few powerups: diagonal bouncers, up/down homing rockets, hold down for wide beam attack, invincible pod which can go and front or back and can be fired across the screen.

    It's been a while since I've had a phase of shooters, so with this and Raiden Fighters, I'm looking forward to regaining some semblance of skill.

    From what I've seen so far (level 1), I'd say I am looking forward to seeing what the rest of it has to offer, unlike No Hope which I just wanted to snap in half.... If you didn't find Last Hope difficult then you'll probably find this too easy.

        I'll see if I can knock something together. It would be from memory though.

            Nice little review. I will pick this up, I had read about a bug in the scoring on VGI I think it was. I'll still give this a go though.

              Yeah, the first level can end up giving you far too many points sometimes. If scores are really important to you, then don't get this. The gameplay is cool though.

                I concur. A short but sweet review.

                Dux and Pink Bullets are the last 2 shooters I require for my DC shmup collection.

                Knowing that the game isn't bobbins makes it more palatable parting with the cash.
