Ikari Warriors is a vertically scrolling run 'n' gun game that was originally released in the Arcade in 1986.
+ Corrects the firing issue from the NES port (1986) and your gun now shoots central to your body instead of from the right.
+ Taking things slow and deliberate is where the gameplay shines and it's fun trying to constantly outsmart your opponent.
+ Unlike Commando's turn-based action (1989, Atari 7800), the two-player mode here is co-op with no performance hit.
- Difficulty is off-the-charts from the outset (even on Novice), mainly due to the swarms of enemies and projectiles.
- Vertical scrolling is choppy, and enemy sprites inexplicably remain visible for a couple of seconds after being shot.
- Enemies have a propensity to enter the battleground and immediately leave without engaging in any form of combat!
