The levels are quite short but there are 25 of them and which mostly involve the usual run 'n' gun sort of thing but there's some variety added by the boss fights and your special abilities like teleportation and morphing into a powerful phoenix. What follows is a side-scrolling shooter that first requires you to choose four weapons from a selection of six before heading out into the main game. These mutants have now been turned into terrorists by the evil Xi-Tiger so it now falls to you to battle against your former comrades. The story is the usual bonkers nonsense, with the player in control of Epsilon Eagle, the former leader of a group of mutants. It's a mix of the aforementioned title along with bits of Metal Slug and Contra that's all wrapped up with that superb Treasure visual style that just oozes quality. Here's one of Treasure's lesser known titles but like the classic Gunstar Heroes, this is another cracking slice of side-scrolling action.
