    Fire Shark on the M2 ShotTriggers release was my first experience of the Toaplan classic, and while this PC release doesn’t match up overall, I don’t really think it is fair to compare them given the price differences and what each release is going for. I’m still not sure whether I like Fire Shark or Flying Shark more, but I can safely say I enjoyed my time with Fire Shark on Steam Deck quite a bit. The responsiveness and super fast boot up time makes me want more classics re-issued through BitWave Games like this one.

    Fire Shark is still a ton of fun, and when you’re fully powered up with your weapon of choice and blasting through some of the game’s difficult bosses, it can feel like a fantastic example of the genre. The highs here are indeed high. However, certain design choices don’t work for me, and I came away from Fire Shark actually preferring its predecessor. While it may not be able to match Fire Shark’s best moments, it offers a more consistently fun experience from start to finish. That said, if you want a truly great challenge then make sure to check Fire Shark out.
