About

You play as Sayo, a shrine maiden trying to rescue the Seven Lucky Gods from monsters in this classic Taito shooter. The gameplay focuses on tight movement and shooting patterns while you navigate through stages filled with enemies. You can tackle it alone or team up with a friend for local multiplayer action. This version keeps the original arcade feel intact while running smoothly on modern consoles. The game stands out for its charming pixel art and distinct Japanese folklore theme that sets it apart from typical shooters of the era. Players have noted the satisfying difficulty curve in community discussions, making it a solid pick for those who enjoy retro challenges. It runs well on both PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch without needing any extra settings to tweak. The multiplayer mode adds a nice layer of fun when you can coordinate attacks with a partner.
