Earthion
Critic Reviews for Earthion
Earthion has an enviable pedigree and sports tight, varied, and entertaining gameplay that make it an instant classic. And of course, its soundtrack rocks HARD.
Earthion is an excellent game for the Genesis. Even with the issues I had with it, I’m still going to keep playing it. I also will be picking up the cartridge release next year — it’s just that good of a game. If you like shooters, give Earthion a go on your favorite modern platform. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
Simple things done well will always be enjoyable; it's not always necessary to rethink how video game concepts are presented to players to ensure a pleasant experience. Earthion is proof that starting a game that engages the player right away can be an experience every now and then.

Earthion delivers everything that nostalgic fans of a quality shoot 'em up needed: a solid, concise game, with graphics that hark back to the golden age of video games, but with a beautiful touch of modernity.

Earthion is a pretty good horizontal shooter.. but that’s basically it. You’ve played dozens, maybe hundreds of similar games released since the early 90s. What might make it stand out a bit is the fact it’s got a TRULY FANTASTIC score by Yuzo Koshiro, and was developed by his own studio, but this is just another shooter in a genre where there’s little room for innovation or improvements, especially when you consider the fact it was developed with the limitations of the Mega Drive in mind.
