    Gunbird is an interesting game in its genre that is differentiated by presenting an odd group of characters instead of only controlling ships and furthermore by the introduction of a small story with dialogue between stages, something that gives it a certain appeal.

    Gunbird is a faithful port of a solid 90s shoot-em-up. Its fantastic range of difficulty levels means that most gamers will be suitably catered for, but there are undoubtedly stronger examples of the genre currently available on Switch.

Zerodiv could do more with optimization for the Switch: in 2018 not having online leaderboards is just plain lazy. The game itself, though, can hardly be faulted and the lack of any online is partially made up for by giving the option to rotate the visuals 90 degrees to play vertically - either with a stand or with your TV turned on its side.. A great addition for any shmup fan.… Full Review »
