  • Summary: Batsugun is a vertical scrolling shooter arcade game released in 1993 by Toaplan. The game attracted attention for the large number of bullets shot by both enemies and allies. This led many games to adopt the same kind of play. Batsugun thus became the pioneer of the bullet hell genre.Batsugun is a vertical scrolling shooter arcade game released in 1993 by Toaplan.

    This title is the first installment of the new "Saturn Tribute Boosted" brand, which is a port and reproduction of the previous "Saturn Tribute" series using the Zebra engine, but with more new features and additional elements.

    The "Boost Up HUD" is a new UI that displays the experience gauge, the current score (+hidden bonuses), and the title of the BGM currently playing. The game also features an online ranked mode and the maximum score has been increased for more challenges.

    Batsugun Saturn Tribute Boosted from CityConnection brings a Toaplan classic I didn't even know about to modern platforms, and the overall package is better than expected. The gadgets included are lacking, but I'm glad to have a way to play this game that I now love on Steam Deck.

    BATSUGUN Saturn Tribute Boosted has detailed spritework and a novel leveling system, but there’s not enough in this 90s throwback to justify the steep price tag.

    30 years after the arcade original debatably debuted the bullet hell concept, Toaplan's best shooter is back in an imperfect port of a port.
