7.5/10

A vertical shooter with a flexible weapon system and a strong sense of progression.

Star Soldier is a vertical shooter with a weapon system that can be upgraded during play. Each stage adds new enemies and patterns, and the boss fights reward careful attention.

The game is fast and focused, and it shows how a Famicom shooter can offer depth without much complexity.
