"The Tale of ALLTYNEX is a deeply addictive, proven, classic-meets-modern vertical scrolling shmup that will keep players both entertained and red-eyed for a long time. Where the classics couldn’t improve, SITER SKAIN has. In short, the series fully embodies the spirit of the arcade era, and with the added bonus of improved visual elements, it leaves very little to be desired."
Siliconera: Hello, everybody! My name is Matias Puyol (aka AlphaProspector) and I’m Nyu Media’s Marketing Editorial Consultant & resident STG (shooting game) aficionado. I’m guest spotting to write a word or two about the rather nice shooting game RefleX that Nyu Media just released as part of the Tale of ALLTYNEX trilogy by the Japanese indie developer SITER SKAIN.

Oh wow! Long time coming - these are esily the best shooters ever made. Sorry Cave, sorry Treasure - but Siter Skain make just the MOST delectible shooters.
The first game in the The Tale of ALLTYNEX series is KAMUI (“Divine Menace”) which was released way back in 1998 – a long time ago to be sure, but KAMUI is a case study in age and beauty going very nicely together indeed.
So I made a bit of an error in this one. There IS controller support, but my pad's on the blink... Look out for an edited version clarifying this shortly.
