I’m pretty excited for the upcoming Sol Cresta, a shoot ’em up developed by PlatinumGames with music by Yuzo Koshiro. So I thought I’d go back and play its spiritual predecessor.

Turns out it’s pretty great. Terra Cresta is an excellent Xevious-style shoot ’em up in which your power-ups are additional ship parts you can bolt on to yourself — and even fire them out in different formations for powerful effects.
