Outland is a thrilling, successful blend of bullet-hell and platforming gameplay.
Outland is more than a simple homage to Treasure's classic shoot-'em-up Ikaruga. A game that marries the fluidity of platforming with the madness of a bullet-hell shooter in spectacular fashion, Outland crafts a stylish,... Read Full Review
