Bullet hell hard as nails before that genre was even a thing floating around, one of the BEST ps1 soundtracks ever assembled and decent replayability, this was ps1 at it's best!
Awesome soundtrack, slick presentation, and neat ideas/iteration on the genre. Nearly impossible to legally acquire nowadays, having something like this become accessible on PC would be great step up for shmup games.

ONE OF A KIND classic bullet hell, incomparable to anything you have seen - both in its DESIGN and MECHANICS. Very enjoyable and memorable game, once you play it, you'll never forget it. You won't find it nor hear it anywhere nowadays, yet there are many votes - because it's a very niche yet pure fun game.

Soviet Strike
Soviet StrikeIn 1991, the U.S.S.R. (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) boasting the largest military force in history, suddenly and unexpectedly collapsed. Since that time the fallen empire has lain lifeless -- a rich corpse waiting to be picked clean. Now, a sinister ex-KGB general codenamed Shadowman directs a flock of vultures to swoop in from all parts of Eastern Europe and claim Russia's nuclear warheads and weapons of mass terror. While directing these 'wars of liberation' Shadowman intends to shake democratic Russia to it's foundations, bringing about a return to the Cold War...or even worse. You chopper into Crimea and discover the plot of this Russian madman using thermal spy devices. You must quickly move on to the Black Sea to prevent the hijacking of ICBM ships, respond to an attack on a chemical weapons plant in the desert passes, and then recover a nuclear reactor core in Transylvania. As you successfully thwart these stages of Operation Vulture, Shadowman is forced to take his coup to the streets of Moscow. Guide your chopper through five unique 3D worlds as you complete 41 deadly missions. Enemy vehicles, tactics, and responses change, based upon your activities, making this the first of STRIKE's new "Living Battlefields".
