Set across sevenCrisis Wing was developed by Pieslice Production and published by Eastasiasoft Limited; this is a vertical shoot-’em-up game. Set across seven stages and you can play solo or with another player. You control a spaceship that evolves into a powerful killing machine. You’ll dodge projectiles while collecting power-ups and shoot every enemy in sight. Shoot-’em-ups are a timeless classic and Crisis Wing has captured this essence perfectly. The simplicity of its concept is what captivates its audience and demands you to keep playing. As you progress through each stage, your opponent becomes more challenging. This culminates in a tough boss battle that tests your skills and reactions. The tough as nails gameplay will frustrate many as death is all but guaranteed. However, I loved these rage-inducing mechanics and I couldn’t put it down. If for whatever reason, you tire of the main story, you can attempt to take on the Boss Battle or Time Attack modes. The latter is an unlimited lives challenge that pits you against an array of enemies. You have a set time to rack up a high score and see how you compare on the leaderboard. The Boss Battle is an eye watering challenging option. Death is inevitable and failure is guaranteed maybe a few times over. A shoot-’em-up would be hollow if it wasn’t for the over the top power-ups. Machine guns, rockets, bombs, and more assist you on your quest. Collecting these vital tools is essential to your success, and they look cool as hell. I loved it when the screen was filled with projectiles and my foes exploded into pieces. The ultra-aggressive weapons never got old, and I enjoyed annihilating everything in sight. Crisis Wing is an old-school classic with a modern polish.
Crisis Wing captures everything that makes this genre wonderful. With its old-school charm but modern polish it’ll check off the boxes for most gamers and almost every shmup fan out there. I enjoyed what was offered and recommend heading over to the Xbox digital games store and downloading it today. The price of admission is more than fair and will please the masses.… Expand
