At 1UP we have a strong following of SHMUP fans and so it's always a pleasure to be able to announce the release of a super rare shooter like Shienryu! Considered by many as the best game released on Sega's Titan (ST-V) system, Shienryu is a vertical scrolling shooter which sits somewhere between Raiden and DoDonPachi in terms of style, appearance and game play.
The weapon system in Shienryu includes three main gun types (Vulcan, Laser and Missiles), each with a different style of bomb being made available to the player. Using the powerful 2D hardware of the Sega ST-V system, which was similar to the Sega Saturn hardware, means there's plenty of bright, well-animated sprites, huge bosses and an impressive number of scaling and transparency effects creating awesome visuals. A must play game for SHMUP fans, and believed to be the only active Shienryu arcade machine in Australia!
