What is Batsugun?

A 2D sci-fi shoot-'em-up about pilots trying to overthrow an oppressive king. You steer through enemy fire and shoot down foes, alone or in local co-op. The included Special version changes enemy behavior, reduces your ship's vulnerable area, adds a shield that absorbs one hit, and increases difficulty across four successive playthroughs.
