    It's good for various reasons.

    The music, style, gameplay and rarity. Shumps on the genesis amd everywhere well else have become so expensive expensive. This one is definitely worth playing but I've never managed to beat it. I could probably beat it using save states.

    Do you like it?
    If yes: it's good.
    If no: it's not good.

      So if I like Bratz: Pop 'n Lock - Turbo Twerk Edition for the Gameboy Advance, that means it's a good game?

    Hugely overrated slog of a game with more down time than any shmup should have. A textbook example of style over substance.

        Don't know what happenened in the 16bit era. Started off incredibly strong with MUSHA Aleste, which is one of the best in the series, but then some really disappointing games. Super and Dennin are kind of lame.

            Spriggan is good. If M2 ever puts out another Aleste collection but for 16bit this time and didn't include it, I might even pass it over, as I own and have played MUSHA many times, and have a mildly negative view of Super and Robo. I don't like them.
            Is Spriggan licensed from an anime?

    I like it but there's one thing that confuses me.
    So at the end of the game, we got and fight this weird alien-looking thing where there's this giant ball with a face in it, and it gets its own music, and it seems to be Dire 51. Then in the next sequence, we're returning home when that recurring robot boss shows up again and we destroy it, then we learn that THAT is Dire 51.
    So... what was that other guy? Is the twist just that Dire 51 was installed inside a robot the whole time?

    Compile games are just fun even going back to Zanac. Play Xenon 2 or Bomber raid on sms to see what a bad shmup is. A bad shmup is one with periods of nothing much happening but also you don't want too much so it a bit of a balance as well as having a variety in graphics and enemies.

      Euro shmups also tend to make most enemies bullet sponges for some reason

        Because they are all amateur garage games with a cargo cult design philosophy.

    It's a console shmup so it's a snoozefest with so much low intensity padding that you'll fall asleep before ever reaching the end.

    The game may not be for everyone, but it is one of my most favorite games on the system. I love the music, graphics, gameplay, and overall energy of the game. There's probably more personal challenges to try, but I just flow to the green lightning beam weapons.

    Best shooter on Genesis. Embarrassingly so. A must must play.

    Apparently this one is supposed to be really good but I don't get the appeal of Musha.
