Okay, looks like the DLC turns out to be the new helicopter whose weapon system behaves like you’re playing a regular standard shmup game where you have both primary and secondary weapons. Sure looks like it but the overall firepower when collecting Cannon or Rocket may seem to look like a mixed bag compared to other classic shmups. Perhaps the secondary weapons are already tweaked but not the whole firepower for main weapon. It’s a standard 3-way shot and it looks good enough with Vulcan weapon. The Rocket weapon makes the firepower nearly as good as using the Vulcan weapon but then the Rocket weapon is tweaked for some balancing. With Cannon weapon, this is already making the firepower a mixed bag. It looks powerful than the primary weapon but what if the enemy rams on you before you can get the chance to hit it with the Cannon weapon?
Compared to the main helicopter which takes time to re-charge the secondary weapon, this DLC helicopter will make you think like you’re playing a classic shooter game but with lesser looking firepower. At least to this game, the DLC helicopter has more firepower than the default helicopter.
The DLC will be released in March 28th for Xbox 360 and April for Playstation 3. Well, I guess that the DLC is already out for the Xbox 360 version and you can try out the epic DLC helicopter if you have this game. It sounds fine as long as the new DLC air unit is the helicopter type.
