Remember that game? That, to me, was the epitome of shootemups

It's definitely up there with Gradius Gaiden, Gradius 5, and R-Type Delta on my list for that particular era. It's still a little disappointing Square-Enix has never released a remaster, because I feel that game could be even more amazing with the restrictions of the PSX removed.

That's one of the places where 3D polygon is different from 2D design-- 3D can always be improved with higher polycount and newer rendering tricks, but 2D is harder to improve well by increasing the scale of the pixel art.

Very out of left field for the then Squaresoft, but a welcome departure from their traditional fare, the whole claw/hand, capture, and gunpod design was so well thought out. A game I need to playthough again. One of Square’s finest non-RPG efforts for sure.

Emulation is best opiton for those who haven't played or didn't have the foresight to keep their copy. Like many shmups, requires some deep pockets. Einhänder on Steam is unlikely but we are seeing a resurgence of shmups on Steam (thank you). I think a game on Steam that will scratch that weapon capturing itch is "Strania" It was developed by G.rev!!

Einhänder HD would be rad to see coming on modern consoles https://youtu.be/Yghb_qgKrUo

Many people are forgetting about Squaresoft's non-RPG games sadly...


PS: I still consider Radiant Silvergun to be the Epitome of 32-bits era shmups but this one is also very good.
