So Fu*king Metal

A shooter with RPG advancement mechanics and, get this, personality, Jets and Guns is the riff ripping explosionary wargasm shmup fans have been waiting for. The demo design doesn't do justice to pleasures of the advancement mechanics, if I were the developer I'd retool it on a time based scheme instead of the stilted set-up currently available. Once you start tricking out your ship with bombastically optimized weapon suites, you'll forget you ever played R-type. Its like that old (1999 old) TI-83 game, phoenix, but fleshed out with smooth animations, a trough of missions, an awesomely ludicrous story and money bonuses for splattering all sorts of blood around. A genre topped out.
