The M2 ShotTriggers version of this game that came out on PS4 is just absolutely tremendous.

I was initially worried about this one but grew to really love and appreciate the depth of Battle Garegga's design. I don't know that I'd love this one as much as I do if I hadn't spent a bunch of time banging my head against Gun Frontier before I tried it.

Desperate for a western release but as with the other ShotTriggers ports, this game just absolutely sings.
