\"\"<\/a>Crisis Wing is a 2-D vertically scrolling shooter with pixel graphics that imitate what you might\u2019ve seen in arcades back in the late 80s and early 90s.\u00a0 Although I think it\u2019s still a brand new game, not an arcade classic.\u00a0 But then, those kinds of games were a dime a dozen back then, so I can\u2019t remember them all.\u00a0 Anyway, one or two players can shoot everything that moves, while avoiding spacecraft and projectiles.\u00a0 It\u2019s available to play on most current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

This shooter is as basic as they come.\u00a0 Just avoid and shoot anything that moves.\u00a0 You can hold down the fire button for your regular shots, and another button for screen clearing bombs.\u00a0 Just use the bombs sparingly because they are limited. \u00a0Sometimes after shooting rows of ships, you can pick up a medal for points.\u00a0 Other types of ships leave behind power-ups when destroyed.\u00a0 Depending on the color, you could get missiles, a wide shot, or a spread shot when you collect them.\u00a0 Defeat mid-baddies and final bosses in seven stages, and it\u2019s Game Over if you lose all your lives.<\/p>\n

There are single and two player co-op modes, as well as a practice mode.\u00a0 You can play a special stage to try and get as high score as you can in a limited amount of time in Time Attack.\u00a0 And tackle waves of tough enemies and bosses in Boss Rush.\u00a0 Toggle settings in Options and view your high scores in Rankings.\u00a0 The only problems I had with this game is that it\u2019s incredibly generic, and pretty tough as these games tend to be.\u00a0 Luckily you start off not far after you died when you continue.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crisis Wing is rated E-10 with an ESRB descriptor of Fantasy Violence. \u00a0You shoot spaceships that explode, but that\u2019s about as violent as it gets.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for the text, and younger gamers may find it too difficult.\u00a0 A second player can join in to help out, though, and I grew up playing games like this and turned out OK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
