Another great Capcom release this week see U.N. Squadron joining our rapidly growing arcade! Breaking away from the vertical shooters which Capcom were mostly known for, U.N. Squadron (known as Area 88 in Japan) is a solid shoot 'em up with some unique qualities.
The game begins with three selectable pilots/planes, each with slightly different attributes like power, speed and weapons. But breaking the trend, U.N. Squadron sees you earning money during each level which can be spent on upgrades, altering the common 'power-up' system strictly used by most shooters. Some solid gameplay and the usual Capcom level of polish makes this another fine game and a essential play for SHMUP fans.
