Old-school gaming fans will find a lot to love about Horizon Shift '81 as it feels like a long-lost static shooting arcade treasure.Horizon Shift '81 gameplay video → Mad Age & This Guy Review Switch ★★★★☆ Stage-based campaigns that combine action and puzzle elements can be great fun so is Mad Age & This Guy a worthwhile game? Mad Age & This Guy is played by strategically dropping bombs in order to deal with robotic enemies within a few environments: Caves, Arctic, and Castle.

Although Horizon Shift '81 deliberately models itself after the shoot 'em ups of yore, it never once lets itself get lost in its own homage. Almost immediately, the game design makes it perfectly clear that this is merely borrowing an aesthetic as a base. In taking such a familiar concept, hardcore fans of the genre will be able to appreciate the simple brilliance of shooting at enemies from both sides of the screen. With enemies invading from both top and bottom, the core gameplay loop takes on an even more frantic energy than is typical for the genre. This is one of the most charming takes on the shmup genre yet.
