Another video review from Retro Tuna (Invidious). They say they did manage to "pull off" a good widescreen shmup.

Vertizontal, 3D graphics, and loads of "content" to unlock... And DLC's too?

I would have paid for a new 2D Truxton, but I guess when you're owned by Embracer you have to lean into modernity.

This isn't on my wishlist, but I'm happy to see the franchise continue.

Same! I reckon I'll give this a play if there's a decent sale, but I'm fine letting it go by for now.
