To make a good shmup cocktail, you need pure visceral action, and if going for a retro vibe, it must feature CRT effects. Well, that’s my simple requirements, and Crisis Wing is flaunting them.

Out this week on consoles, this vertical scrolling shooter from Pieslice Productions and Eastasiasoft will take players down the nostalgic route, with seven stages, upgradeable weapons and co-op multiplayer.
