"Delta Squad is a four-player local co-op game that completely misses the mark. Even with its basic controls and simplistic gameplay, nothing about the game warrants a first playthrough. With enemies that seem confused as to what to do, an imbalance in ammo, and the cookie cutter level design, it's hard to see how this game can get four people in the room together at the same time to play. With a price tag of $5.99, it's a hard buy when there are many free mobile games that offer more enjoyment."

About
Delta is a horizontally scrolling shooter with 32 levels that tasks players with fending off alien threats in space. You pilot a vessel through waves of enemies in single or multiplayer modes, using rapid fire and maneuvering to survive. The game’s straightforward mechanics focus on fast-paced action and precise timing, with each level offering escalating challenges. Basic graphics and sound fit the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum hardware of 1987 but keep the experience brisk and focused on gameplay. While its visuals are dated, Delta earned praise for its addictive difficulty and replay value. Fans of classic arcade shooters note its influence on later titles like Armalyte, though it stands on its own as a pure test of reflexes. The inclusion of cooperative multiplayer was a rarity at the time, making it a standout title for home computer arcades. Despite its age, it remains a respected entry in retro shooter circles for its tight controls and relentless pacing.
