Dinsun Review
Now this is how you do a remake. It respects the 1978 original but has the guts to transform into something completely different. The 'evolution' mechanic is brilliant—watching the graphics shift from blocky pixels to vector lines and then to full-on bullet hell is a trip.
However, as a conservative gamer, the visual clutter can become overwhelming. There are times I couldn't see my own ship through the particle effects. It’s a bit too 'flashy' for its own good at times, and the stage generation from music is a gimmick that rarely produces good level design. Still, it’s a high-quality shooter that feels right on mobile.
