MUSHA on the Genesis is one of those shooters that just feels right—Compile nailed it with this one. You're piloting this sleek, armored mech through waves of enemies, dodging bullets while the screen fills with explosions and neon-colored chaos. The synth soundtrack slaps, too—it’s got that classic '90s techno vibe that somehow makes blowing up robots even cooler.

The backgrounds scroll like butter, with these detailed futuristic cities and floating fortresses flying by. At first, I kept crashing into stuff because I was too busy staring at the scenery. Pro tip: grab the blue options early—they stick to your sides and double your firepower. You’ll need ‘em when the screen turns into a bullet hell circus later on.

It’s tough but fair, and once you get into the rhythm, dodging feels almost like a dance. Definitely one of the Genesis’ hidden gems.
