The arcade strikes back with a collection of six white-knuckle shoot-'em-up classics from Psikyo’s greatest hits!

STRIKERS 1945, STRIKERS 1945 II, STRIKERS 1945 III, SOL DIVIDE, Dragon Blaze, and ZERO GUNNER 2 combine forces in one arcade collection! Bring the arcade home by blasting through these shooters vertically in the popular ‘TATE’ mode for the ultimate shoot-'em-up experience!

This collection could be recommended for those who want to casually drop a few credits in a Psikyo game here and there, and are not going to become too concerned about learning or clearing the game. If you are the type of player who respects the original versions of these classics, however, and wants to experience the feel of the intended gameplay, the Psikyo Shooting Stars Alpha is not a worthwhile purchase. It is painful to say, but that money would be better spent on a properly ported shmup collection, like the Darius Cozmic Collection, or even on the old PS1 and Saturn releases of these games (if you are not interested in emulation). We understand some players will be upset by the chosen review score, but please keep in mind that giving this no-effort collection a high review score also devalues the work of other collections and developers who are putting in the time and effort to honour the playability of the games they are selling.
