Another excellent port!

After first trying Caves IOS version of Espgaluda II, I was a little taken aback by the graphic disparity. ESPII was in HD and looked fantastic. The other Cave IOS games are not in HD and look pretty blurry even when scaled down. Some people may think that graphics shouldt be a major concern as Cave games thrive on excellent mechanics and scoring systems, but I for one think Cave also has the best art design out there in the genre and this doesnt do their originals justice in that department.

One thing I DID think was better than ESPII was the touch-area not overlapping with the playable screen real-estate. In ESPII the game was totally fullscreen so I would sometimes find my hand blocking complex bullet patterns and resulting in death. So, that alone levels the issues with graphics. I still would wish that the buttons could be custom-mapped. I find that my bomb and shot finger is placed unnaturally low and sometimes I use a bomb when I really mean to change my shot.

Having said all of that, Cave is still the master and puts out the best shooting action on IOS, period. All of their offerings should be purchased and give a distinctly different gameplay experience than the original arcade/console versions.
