Assemble

Wartech: Senko no Ronde is what you get when a developer can’t decide if he wants to make a traditional arcade shmup, or a fighting game.

The various characters pilot their respective ships in one-on-one battles against each other (like in a fighting game!). The ships each have their own strengths and weaknesses, and varying bullet patterns; each player also has the option to temporarily transform into “boss mode.”

Yes. Boss mode. Instead of trapping the player in a tiny, insignificant ship, Wartech allows you to finally experience what shmup stage bosses must feel; your ship becomes gigantic, you regen health, and you can flood the screen with a hail of bullets.

Assemble is Mika Mikli’s theme:
