Barrage Fantasia

If you enjoy shoot 'em ups but aren't a hardcore fan of the genre then you might appreciate what Barrage Fantasia has in store for you.

TATE mode, clean and cartoonish visuals, and some neat unlockables make Barrage Fantasia a fun, bite-sized shooter. The variety of loadouts make it a solid pick-up for veterans and newcomers, but the absence of online leaderboards and sometimes obtuse localization do hold it back to a degree. Sifting through the barrage of eShop entries in the genre, I would certainly put this in the upper half of shoot-'em-ups on Switch.

Fantastic Shmup that harkens back to the handheld 16bit era
