Shifting shmup Terra Force returns on Nintendo Switch

Hamster takes to the skies once again for this week's retro release, as Nichibutsu's 1987 shmup sequel Terra Force has been dusted off for release on Nintendo Switch.

The third release in the Moon Cresta/Terra Cresta series, Terra Force took a look at the popular shmup landscape of the time and tried something a little different. While shmups at the time consisted of horizontal scrollers (such as Irem's R-Type) or vertical scrollers (like Capcom's 1942), Terra Force attempts to blend the best of both worlds, with stages shifting between the two styles.
