Chōjikū Yōsai Macross Scrambled Valkyrie is a horizontal shooter by
Winky Soft/Zamuse based on the popular animation series of the same name
(known as Robotech in the west). In the future, humanity is
engaged in a war against giant humanoid aliens called the Zentraedi
after one of their spaceship accidentally crashes on Earth. The game follows
the popular Macross formula and features giant transformable
fighter-jets. Each one of the three selectable characters
(Hikaru, Max and Milia) comes with his own tactical
fighter capable of changing into three attack modes :Fighter,
Gerwalk and Battroid. Each Veritech comes equipped
with a specific weapon system ranging from standard Vulcan guns to homing
shots, laser-shields or wave-beams. These weapons are upgraded by collecting
multiple "P" pods that float throughout the game. Each attack form
upgrades separately up to a maximum of three times and a direct hit
automatically downgrades the current active weapons. Although the player
can switch from one attack form to another at will, they feature
different speeds and maneuverability characteristics. They also all share
a special weapon called the Mingmei cannon - a special force field
wraps around the Veritech when weapons are idle a fews seconds.
When in this mode, the fighter can capture standard enemies ships and use
them as shields or as secondary weapon/ally.

Here is probably one of the best (if not the best) Macross
shooter ever made for home consoles gaming. Macross Scrambled Valkyrie,
despite featuring one of the funniest "engrish" name ever, is a fantastic
and beautiful shooter with some truly superb bosses, flawless controls and
utterly breathtaking action. The first couple of levels set the
mood - powerful spaceships warping out from deep space, lightning
bolts ionizing the air and creating columns of plasma and so forth.
Everything in the game has been given a nice amount of detail and effort.
The difficulty level is just a tad on the steep side though but you get
a fair amount of continues if you know where to find them. All in all,
Macross Scrambled Valkyrie is easily one of the best Macross
game out there and it will satisfy Macross and shooter
fans equally. A must have.
