More like Contra or Metal Slug run 'n gun action. Has some neat mechanisms like the 4 different power up types that can be combined 2 at a time to make a variety of different weapons. Where it really shines is in the insane 2 player co-op mode where you can pick the other player up and use them as a weapon (or throw them into a pit if they are about to collect the weapon powerup you really want), and a later spaceship level (a la Gradius) where one player pilots and the other operates the guns. Also infamous for having a miniboss roughly every minute and a half.
