In a previous video, we checked out the Astro City Mini. With a mini-V just over the horizon, we thought it'd be a good opportunity to check out all 22 games. Trash or treasure. Airfighter is a top-down racer slash shooter. Every now and then we get to change vehicles and for being released in 1986, this is extremely action packed. We're gonna stick Sega's action fighter here. Airfighters is a top-down schmub. First in the series, which eventually ended up on the Neo Geo. While it doesn't add anything new to the classic shooters, it does a great job in refining it. Airfighters is pretty awesome. Arm Police Butt Rider is a shooter month released in 1998. Players get to ride jetbags across very detailed stages in its bullet-hell shooter. A lot of the time, the bullets blend into the background, so Butt Rider will be placed into the good tier. Batzagan released in 1993 as soon as a godfather of bullet-hell shooters. Even though it looks quite hectic, it can be quite forgiving. A good starter point for those new to the genre. This game is pretty awesome. Battle of the grade released in 1999 by Raising is another vertical scrolling schmub. Pull-to-hell shooters can be quite challenging, but this one has difficulty selection, so it's good for beginners too. This is an incredibly fun game to play, and the music in the background really keeps you pumped while you dodge in the bullets. Battle of the grade is awesome. Cosmic Police Galivan is a platformer. You can punch, kick, and jump about. This game is pretty much like power-rangeers I guess. It's not bad, but you're not gonna spend a long time on this. Boop. Desert Breaker is an overtop shooter game, which has a lot in common with the game shock troopers for the Neo Geo. You have a dash button to dodge shots, a variety of weapon pickups, as well as bosses. Pretty neat. Desert Breaker is a pretty good game. Dog Yun released in 1992, looks pretty good for its age. But graphics aside, the gameplay falls flat when you have multiple kamikaze ships headed your way. The game feels kinda cheap because when you die, you need to start again from the checkpoint. Dog Yun with its annoying music is a poor game. Fire Shock is another vertical scrolling shooter, very similar to 1942. Having fairly simple gameplay, this title does nothing really to offend and rather refines the formula. This is a fairly decent game. Let's boot it in here. Grand Stommer from 1993 was headed by Don Patch producer Kenichi Takano and is also the debut of Cave Co founder Suneki Ikira. Released in 1993, this game has tight controls, multiple weapon power-ups, informs the building blocks of incredible games to come. The music is pretty annoying, with a bit more development, this could have been excellent. Grand Stommer...mmmmm, fits around here. Gunbird, released in 1994, is another vertically scrolling shoot them up. With its steam punk style setting, the artwork in this game is exceptional. Being part of the bullet hell genre, the player will be mostly dodging shots from the enemies. While the sequel, Gunbird 2, improves on this formula in many ways, the original Gunbird is truly an excellent Let's boot it here. Next up, Mooncresta. Having great memories of this game, back on the Amstrad CPC 464, this ruined it all. The visuals and sound are fine. The thing that really sucks about this game, and it might be due to the time it was released, is that the aliens just randomly come at you. Screw this game. In the trash. Not Zone. This top-down, running gun arcade game was released in 1990. Similar to something like Commando, set in a future. We have some weapon power-ups, and it mixes in elements of top-down, vertical scrolling shooters. Team this up with its decent graphics and soundtrack, and you've got a pretty good game. Out zone belongs around here. Riding, released in 1990, is yet another vertical scrolling shoot-em-up. This is the first in the series of Riding games that has tag controls, nice graphics and music, and has fairly decent gameplay. Riding is a good game. In New Girl. Samurai Aces, also known as Sangoku Ace, is another vertical scrolling shooter released in 1993. Designed by Shin Nakamura, the creator of Aero Fighters, this game can be seen as a samurai version of Gunbird. I'll be a little less polished, definitely worth trying out. Source of Striker, released in 1993, is another fantasy inspired, vertical scrolling shooter. This game was released one year before a convert, yet it shares many similarities, such as the decent music, as well as the beautiful artwork. Source of Striker is going to go around here. This in 1995, by Taikyo, Striker's 1945 is a military themed, vertical, schmuck. It takes many things from games like 1943 and pushes it to the next level. With the tight controls and being absolutely stunned by the visuals, Striker's 1945 is one awesome game. Terrorcresta was released in 1985 by Nietzschebutto. This is the sequel to Mooncresta, and instead of just changing weapons, you have a modular ship. There is a distinct improvement on its predecessor. The combination of checkpoints, a slow moving ship, and kamikaze enemies, make for a pretty poor game. A New Girl, Trouxton. But simply, this game is not very fun. I'd rather put a campfire out with my face, and play Trouxton. Straight in the trash. In you go. Next up, Trouxton 2. Released in 1992, four years after the original, it's not surprising that many things have been improved. Graphics, sound, and gameplay too. But to see, after four years of development, you only get a minor update, while keeping many out of date mechanics in place, like the checkpoint system, it makes Trouxton 2 a little better than trash. It fits around about here. This war, released in 1989 for the System 16, is a wrestling game. Punch, kick, and grapple your opponent until they have low health, and then going for the pin. This looks like a real wrestling to me, but it's a game I would never miss. Wrestle War is a Wrestle Ball. There you go. And last up, Zackson. This isometric shooting game was released in 1981, diving to a fortress, shoot enemies, and a few look by shooting oil canisters. This might have looked great back in 1981, but 40 years later, this game really does not hold up. But still, it's better than Trouxton. All in all, it looks like the Sega Astro City Mini-V is going to be aimed at shooting up fans. Do you agree with our tier list? Comment down below.
