Bullet Heaven #237 - Power Strike II (Master System)

It's our first-ever Master System shmups review and what better way to go than knocking out what is widely regarded as the best shmup on the system? The Power Strike line is a pretty confusing one in terms of what entries belong to what actual series; The Master System's Power Strike II both is and isn't a true sequel to Power Strike "1", also known as Aleste in Japan. It's also not related to Power Strike II on the Game Gear which IS an Aleste title, called GG Aleste. So just how does this Aleste-alike stack up?

Bullet Heaven #245 - Vasara Collection (PS4/Switch)

Vasara is a game series that has taken a very long time to hit the home scene and Vasara Collection is getting the job done with the two original arcade games available in one package. It even adds a brand new mode to the mix, but we have concerns. So, how does it stack up?

Bullet Heaven #244 - Psyvariar Delta (Switch)

Psyvariar was a series we never really "got" when playing the Sega Dreamcast version of Psyvariar 2: The Will to Fabricate... but Psyvariar Delta has definitely gotten us up to code. This Switch, PC and PS4 release freshens up the Playstation 2 Psyvariar releases, adds a ton more replay and definitely delivers the goods, but how does it stack up?

Bullet Heaven #243 - Tatsujin DLC (Game Tengoku Cruisin' Mix) (PS4)

When we took a look at Game Tengoku Cruisin' Mix Special on the Playstation 4, we also dove into the DLC available at the time. One thing that was not available was the Tatsujin DLC, which would be exclusive in North America to the Limited Run Paradise Box. Since then it was actually released on Steam and PSN ahead of the Paradise Box shipping, and since we got our Paradise Box last week, it was finally time to see what Tatsukin is all about! So how does it stack up?

Bullet Haven #242 - Rapid-Fire Revisits Vol.1 (Switch)

It's not at all uncommon for us to receive games we've already reviewed that have been released on other platforms. With so many high-calibur shooting games hitting the switch, it was inevitable that we'd be playing very similar games to what we've already rated. So in this episode of Bullet Heaven, we're taking a brief look at four switch shooters and whether they're the same or warrant a revision to the score on the switch!
