Marc Golding says: Don't look now, true shoot-em-up believers, but there's life in our favourite played out genre yet! Zangeki Warp, a horizontal shmup with a tremendously innovative warp feature, has presently proven that. Coincidentally, I was recently tasked with reviewing Dimension Drive, a split-screen vertical shooter similarly built around warping about the playing field. That game had promise, but was ultimately an uneven effort. Zangeki Warp's take on the warp gimmick is far superior, despite coming along earlier.
Astro Port has announced a new shmup for 2015 called Zangeki Warp. Your ship has a “slashing warp” move that lets you teleport through walls, and enemies.
