1993 Shenandoah

1993 Shenandoah is an unexpectedly polarizing title: previous Commodore Amiga owners and fans will undoubtedly love it and blissfully enjoy the sights and sounds of their beloved childhood, but folks who either missed out on the Amiga or are too young to know the machine might feel completely baffled that such titles managed to hold anyone's attention for long.

While I really wanted to like 1993 more than I did, I can’t help but feel some aspects of the game didn’t age that well, or weren’t polished up as much as they should have been. The graphics are outstanding, and while the sound is lackluster, it still fits the Amiga vibe very well. But the stages are just so inconsistent in how fun they are to play, that I can’t help but feel there should have been more spice to this experience.

It may be a mostly standard shmup but 1993 Shenandoah definitely offers some unique components that help make it stand out.

Provides closure for a title 27 years in the making and represents yet another stout shooter on Switch.

As a huge shooter fan in general I'm pleased that the Switch has a true abundance of riches when it comes to the genre...
