Castle Shikigami 2 PS2

This vertically scrolling shooter is made for fast, arcade-style play. With a premise that sounds like some unusual cross between Space Harrier and Silpheed, the game puts players in control of flying, shooting, super-powered people, instead of futuristic jet fighters or space ships. Characters float forward blasting the countless enemies that seem to attack in spurts and waves, using a combination of standard shots, rapid-fire attacks, and screen-clearing bombs.
