Zero Gunner 2 on mobile

It's unbelievable that they had screwed up the mobile port of Zero Gunner 2 which is based on the Switch port. For one, the same flaws are carried over to the mobile port but from my experience, things are even worse involving the game freezes and controls sometimes not going in my favor. Here's the list of flaws for the mobile version:

1. Enemies appearing out of nowhere on screen.
2. Soundtrack is kind of a mixed bag compared to the one from the game's prequel.
3. Some environmental textures/effects are missing with the mobile version missing even more than the Switch version.
4. Enemy objects slow to a crawl when falling downwards vertically like they're making a smooth landing before exploding after being shot.
5. The controls are not perfect although one of the control methods is like a twin-stick shooter feel. Sometimes, I end up moving the helicopter in a wrong way or turning it in a wrong direction. I think that it tests the multi-touch point conditions but I digress. Twin-stick shooters may be challenging on mobile but it's inexcusable to move the helicopter in the wrong way when two inputs are detected. A game controller should help a lot for those games on mobile, consoles, arcades and even computers.
6. The game often freezes on me whether during gameplay or when the Pause/Continue screen is opened. This may or may not piss me off into thinking that the mobile version has more flaws. That wasted tons of my time trying to get through the game in Normal difficulty.

At least I had better time with Strikers 1945 on mobile which is based on the Switch version as ported by City Connection which already acquired Zerodiv. Zero Gunner 2 on mobile is the first one to be ported over from Switch by City Connection with Strikers 1945 being the second one and it seems that multiple companies are handling the mobile versions of the classic Psikyo games.
I don't know what kind of scumbag would ask the game developers/publishers for the mobile version of Zero Gunner 2. Is it the whaling kind of a scum or maybe a scum who's a complete mobile gamer as if that person doesn't play games on consoles, computers, online sites or even the arcades?
When it comes to spinoff games on mobile, we should have a skeptical feeling about them. We don't know if they are actually good, mediocre or even bad until we try playing them. I already played some of the mediocre spinoff games on mobile the last time in which they are spinoffs of the fighting game series. Of course, there are even mobile spinoff games of the shmup game series as well like Brick Breakers: Strikers 1945 and the other Strikers 1945 game that is assumed to have endless levels or something. That latter is more like Strikers Time Wars or something as you fly through different times, tackling enemies there all the way to the year 1999 which is when Strikers 1945 III takes place.
You ask or/and beg for the mobile version of the upcoming arcade-style game that is coming to consoles/PCs in which someone on YouTube commented like that when King of Fighters XV was announced, and you're pretty much out of the gaming community in my opinion as you're disrespecting me and the others.

More Psikyo games released on Switch by Zerodiv

Common things about Psikyo games ported to Switch are that they don't have online leaderboards, wallpapers that are HD-ish with new HUD along with other stuffs presentation-wise. There's also the opportunity to play in vertical mode on the Switch console. However, there are some minor things that you may need to notice in terms of conversion method. Strikers 1945 II on Switch has missing frames for the explosions as if the game is based on the Playstation port.
During the time of Psikyo games on the 32-bit arcade system with the SH2 CPUs, they tend to have pre-rendered computer graphics with later Psikyo games going even more with that in a weird way like Sol Divide and Space Bomber for instance over weird gameplay and design concept like they were trying to test out the potential of the computer graphics on that system at the time. There were other games that were not shmup games on that same system as well but you can find some development surprises.
The IPs of Psikyo classics are now with Zerodiv and many of those classics are being re-released on Switch while ensuring that the presentation is more accurate. There might be PS2 Psikyo compilations although some of them have inaccurate presentations while having re-arranged music.

Zero Gunner 2 & Strikers 1945 II on Switch

Zero Gunner 2 is maybe great or underrated when available in arcades and Dreamcast but the Switch version has made things a little bit worse.

• The effects are enhanced although some effects are not that great. It's the same flaw as what the arcade and Dreamcast versions have but the Switch version improves them a little with Additive Blending for the explosion, splash and smoke effects.
• Objects appear and disappear out of nowhere in some of the stages and especially for the ones that are parts of the stages.
• Some of the environmental effects are missing and the enemy bullets on Stage 5 are darker than usual.
• The object falling motion has both Smooth Start and Smooth Stop which ruins the purpose of a falling object. Normally, the object has a smooth beginning of the falling speed and the speed never drops until the object crash-lands on something which stops the speed abruptly.
• The way the instruments are played isn't that great and this is the same flaw the original versions have.

This is not how you port a 2000s game to a modern console. The other Naomi games are ported better to modern platforms with better graphics, rearranged soundtracks and different sound effects. However, not all games are modernized like that. Certain games have enhanced graphics, some have different sound effects and some have rearranged soundtrack. This one has enhanced effects like other Naomi games ported to modern consoles but other things in it are ruined for some reason.
Some of the Dreamcast/Naomi games are ported to modern platforms without any enhancements whatsoever although some of them actually have true widescreen support. Other problems for other games take place in other articles.
Then, about Strikers 1945 II on Switch, there's probably not much to say although I might have played the mobile version of it. The mobile version has some backgrounds missing in some stages but the conversion is still accurate nonetheless.

Strikers 1945 for Switch

Strikers 1945 II and III were ported to IOS and Android and I already showed the gameplay videos of myself playing Strikers 1945 III in Master difficulty. It was incredibly difficult and I even consumed some of the in-game currency for extra bombs to survive. Normally, you get three bomb-attacks to begin with but if you run out, you will have to pay in-game currency for extra ones unless you get additional bomb items from the enemies. Obviously, the gameplay videos of Strikers 1945 III from my YouTube channel were incredible to look at although my Android tablet is already on life-support with some hardware defects or whatnot.
The original Strikers 1945 for Nintendo Switch is another decent conversion from what I saw although it misses the transparent boxes in the Scramble screen and the sound effects are different than the arcade version.
Another game besides this released on Switch is Gunbarich, from Psikyo. It appears that the external company, Zerodiv, has the assets to various Psikyo arcade games and it seems that Gunbarich has nicer decoration of the HUD and wallpaper than Strikers 1945 on Switch that you can't tell where the center portion of the game is in terms of layers. Obviously, the center layer is the arcade game layer, outside of it is where decoration takes place with new HUD and other information.

Strikers 1945 III on IOS and Android

This one's a special treat to show as I had one-credit-cleared this game on my Android device in the highest difficulty as shown in the screenshot below. Unfortunately, unlike that screenshot, my gameplay videos on YouTube took more than a credit to clear but it seemed that I was able to tolerate things quite well as if the game on IOS and Android is less difficult than the arcade version in which the enemy bullets are much faster in the arcade version. Another thing to talk about is the lesser amount of grinding in this one unlike the prequel on IOS and Android which is much more tedious. You should be able to get more virtual coins throughout the game than spending the overall amount of virtual coins in starting the game. What this means is that you can pay virtual coins in randomizing the choice of the fighter for full power as well as to enable a partner fighter to help you out before starting the game but by the time you have gone through the entire game, you may have gotten more virtual coins from some missions than consumed those virtual coins from random fighter choice + partner. This reduces the amount of grinding or some sort but another improvement is the inclusion of additional goals as different ways of unlocking fighters. For instance, you need to upgrade the fighters by spending virtual coins on getting full power, shield and higher charge weapon level so that you can get that amount of power the next time you start the game. Of course, you may need to do the required amount of upgrades to unlock that fighter.

Strikers 1945 II for IOS and Android

The previous mobile versions were technically fine until the recent version started to lag on my Android device that it may be unstable enough that it may end up shutting itself down, back to the home screen as it may be unresponsive. It's kind of annoying when the apps and the later versions of the previous apps are released in the future and you're using them in your older device and hence this kind of annoyance. Perhaps, I may need to buy the new IOS and Android devices but they may be kind of expensive and cheap-ass Android devices may be technically inferior but the superior ones may be expensive as hell. It may be a difficult decision as of today on which Android device to buy at this moment due to the price and other stuffs.
So, we got like 4 loops as I believed from the previous version of the game ported to IOS and Android but the real challenge laid from further stages in Normal difficulty with the Professional difficulty starting to be almost on par with the arcade version. Master difficulty is sort of like Loop 2 of the arcade version or maybe Loop 1.5. On the recent version, the game's divided into four difficulties but each one has one loop instead so be glad about that. Not to mention that you get additional red emeralds for higher difficulty you choose. Downside is that it costs golds and it is more difficult than usual, even if you have your partner ship along which is kind of handy although it has different behavior than the one in Caladrius Blaze's Synchro Mode.
The title screen music is based on the song from one of the stages and its arrangement is nicer but it's the only arrangement you can find on the app.
Downsides of the game regard the way your ship fires and having to waste more golds just to unleash more bombs at the last resort. What the hell, that's kind of stupid to waste additional virtual money on unleashing more bombs when you have run out of them. That defeats the purpose of the arcade shmup gaming. You should have treated this game as the arcade game as it was originally released in the arcades in the 90s as stated in the game's description, not the mobile game. Another problem is the mis-coloration of one of the bosses and some of the backgrounds are missing compared to the arcade counterpart. The console version problem regards the pixellation of the sprites and the slowdowns that kick in for some of the stages.
This is developed and published on the same mobile platforms by the same company that publishes and develops Sengoku Blade on the same platforms. Sure, things are entirely in Korean language but you should be able to get through the language barrier to get this game from the app store.

Gunbird 2 and Sengoku Blade for IOS and Android

The ex-employees of Psikyo might have come back in the new company named Xeronauts which might have published Strikers 1945 Portable on the PSP with slight graphical modification. The explosions in that version may have changed to the classic-ass ones which may seem to be disappointing and the boss music is somewhat missing. The worse thing is that it is based on Strikers 1945 Plus with still cropped vertical parts of the resolution in in which the original Strikers 1945 II version has.
Then moving on to the mobile version of Gunbird 2 and Sengoku Blade which make use of the Kakao Korean social networking service to play the games. The way you start the game is that you get one credit for free but beyond one credit is virtually costly. You can also enhance the gameplay with various mobile version exclusive items like the shield for example that will protect you from enemy attacks.
The disadvantage of these two games on the mobile device is that getting beyond one credit will cost you virtual money so good luck trying to clear them in one-credit if you're damn good enough. Another problem for Sengoku Blade for IOS and Android is that the gameplay resolution is completely stretched to 16:9. Similar issue as the one in Raystorm HD but on the 4:3 mobile devices like the Ipad, the entire game except in-game is squashed in 4:3 format. Originally, the game on the mobile devices is entirely in 16:9. The improvement is that they should add the wallpaper during gameplay for 16:9 devices and not flatten the god-damn non-in-game interface for 4:3 devices. Another problem for Gunbird 2 on IOS and Android is that the arranged music is like crap compared to the original and home console versions of Gunbird 2. What were they thinking when trying to modernize the music for that game?
Gunbird 2 for IOS and Android is known as Gunbird S and Sengoku Blade is simply named as Tengai, the same name for the overseas arcade release.
