Dennin Aleste

Probably the finest Mega CD shooter complete with all the Compile trade marks including wonderful soundtrack and tight controls - all important on games of this ilk, yet sometimes found to be lacking on other examples. The story involves a futuristic twist on warring shogun era fractions: this time you are cast as the most decorated pilot in the White Fang Ninja Force switching spaceships for horses. Clever use of zoom and rotation and nice cut scenes. Known as Robo Aleste in the West and subtitled Nobunga and His Ninja Force. Smashing picture disk.
