Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
If you're a fan of shoot 'em ups (who isn't
?), then I suspect Dogyuun will be right up your alley. It looks amazing, and is reminiscent of the likes of Truxton, which is no bad thing.

For one, it has a selection of power-ups which can be tailored to suit your play-style. For example, the starting cannon can be combined with a speed-boosting agility upgrade, bestowing a pair of mini lasers in addition to improved maneuverability. Other cannisters install homing lasers on your craft, but you can only have a limited number of these on-screen at any given time, and it's easy to get overwhelmed when swarmed by large numbers of smaller enemies.

There's a good number of levels to get your teeth into, bristling with enemy fighters, mid-level corvettes, plus the usual end-of-level behemoths to conquer. The Japanese version, shown here, includes an ending cutscene after beating the final boss, but then launches straight into another loop.

Dogyuun is a tough game, but it's certainly one of the more accommodating shooters out there - this is definitely worth a look.
