Phalanx comes to mind
I feel like that's the opposite. The cover is weird AF and has nothing to do with the fact it's a pretty good sci-fi SHMUP lol
Unless you got hyped up for hillbilly banjo slappin' action and were disappointed it was a shoot 'em up... ๐ค
Some banjo action was expected!
Jk it was a fine game and had an awesome cover in a weird way.
Oddly enough, I ended up buying Shadow Dancer specifically because the cover was so bizarre.
An old man with a bat protects a young woman from a plate armored man attacking both of them with a longsword, as a scared dog flees into a burning city in the distance.
Love it!
Yeah, I wanted some old-man-with-a-banjo action and ended up with a space shooter.
