A highly competent, engaging and deeply understanding pixel-style action-vertical STG hybrid. LANCER TWO is VERY CUTE. The game is balanced and polished to a spit-shine - no worries about inaccessibility or weak playfeel here; Astrolancer will fit right into your hands. LANCER TWO is HIGHLY CUTE. Immense thought is clear to see in the design of every room layout and boss pattern. LANCER TWO is INORDINATELY CUTE. Soundtrack is a gorgeous Famicom-lineage run of VGM that doesn't miss a beat. LANCER TWO is FUNDAMENTALLY CUTE. If you like robot girls, a fun game, LANCER TWO, or any other variety of factors, go for it.

pretty damn good at the tight again-again-again loop. if it looks your jam, i would probably recommend it
