Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
Not a shoot 'em up I'd heard of before, Arrow Flash isn't going to win any awards for innovation. It's a relatively by-the-numbers horizontal shooter with the usually assortment of upgrades, end-of-level bosses and everything else common to the genre.
The game does try and mix things up by allowing the player to transform between fighter and mech-suit mode. The fighter has a narrower cone of fire and has a blastwave as a special weapon, whereas the mech has a wider angle of fire and can initiate what I fiess is the titular "Arrow Flash", turning itself into a glowing death hulk that can kill enemies on contact.
The reality is that these two modes don't really offer a huge variety in terms of gameplay. I didn't find there was much need to use the special abilities all that often, with the regular weapons being powerful enough in most cases. What we're left with is a game with some nice parallax scrolling and cool demoscene-style tricks, but fairly mundane gameplay.

I knew that company’s name looked familiar, as well as the graphics style… this is the same company that made “Gaiares”, one of my all time favorite shmups!
Gundam called and they want their everything back.
GG 😊
11:22 is my favorite part of the music😊
Great little shooter cunningly disguised as a Macross game 👍
The music in this megadrive game is so awesome! Its not as fartsy as most genesis titles. I suppose this isn't using the gens engine
Damn, what's that space station made of...? Crashes from orbit, doesn't break up, doesn't even make a splash... And then at the end of the level you land back in it like nothing happened! Early title for these guys presumably, several aspects seem a bit underdeveloped, lots of filler... Those mid-game boss designs are lush, though. And the "colony drop" spectacle on the first level, even if it finishes with a bit of a cop out, would have been a jaw floorer at this time.
R type ( kind of )
Arrow flash is the easiest game I've ever played

mediocre technical realization, not even at some Amiga's shooters. Genesis/Megadrive can do way much better than this
