Star Soldier on the GBA is one of those classic shoot-'em-ups that feels simple at first—just you, a tiny ship, and waves of enemies—but gets brutal fast. It's a Famicom Mini port, so it's got that old-school arcade vibe where every bullet counts and power-ups feel like lifelines. The controls are tight, but man, those later levels will test your reflexes.

If you're into retro shooters, this one's a solid pick. Just don't expect any hand-holding—it's pure 80s arcade chaos in portable form.
