If you buy the limited edition version you get the soundtrack disc. I’m not much into trance, but the tunes on here are still pretty damn good and go well with the game. The game features a pretty good soundtrack, featuring some good ambient music and if that doesn’t make your heart race, some trance beats. In the end its a very impressive Neo Geo game, but on the Dreamcast, compared to other shooters on the system, it only looks okay. The game also has the largest megabit count for any Neo Geo title ever, clocking in at 1560 MEGS. The game has four times more bullets on screen than any Neo Geo game before it. With CGI bad guys shooting over 100 bullets at you at any given moment, it can get very dense. I didn’t count them while playing since I was too busy blowing them up, but I wouldn’t doubt it. Developers stated they have over 40 unique enemy types. The backgrounds have depth and the enemies come in lots of varieties. Yes, this is the best looking Neo Geo game that I have seen. You really appreciate the look of the game more knowing that. The reason? Well, the game was built for the Neo Geo MVS, which is a 20 year old piece of hardware. Its not ugly,but its not as good looking as other titles that have graced the console. Something you will notice about the game right away is that it isn’t the best looking Dreamcast game.

The bullets, the screen is full of bullets! Graphics & Music It really does take a lot of tries to master and get a decent score, no wait, screw the score it takes a lot of time to even survive in this mode. Also the closer you get to the enemy before you kill them, the higher the score. The faster you kill one after another the more points you get. To continue the multiplier you will have to keep on shooting down enemies. You will have to replay them to find the best way to get your grinding multiplier high, since the higher it is the higher your score will be. The Maniac/Omake modes seem to have the most unique ranking system, compared to Novice and Original. I know its suppose to be a sci-fi shooter, but why can’t it have bigger changes in scenery to feel less monotonous? The only issue I would have with the length is that all of the levels basically have the same ‘dark & space’ feel. Even though it is only 6 stages long, the game offers four modes of play: Novice, Original, Maniac, and Omake (exclusive to the DC port and the hardest mode!). Fan favorite Ikaruga only featured 5 stages, so this kind of length isn’t really much of a negative in this genre. Though it seems that this genre really is known for having shorter games, since they are basically arcade titles.
The game sadly only features 6 stages, so it’s rather short. You can pick up more shields as you play through a stage, so monitor how many shields you have at all times. Dodging bullets is your best course of action, but sometimes the screen becomes so filled with bullets that it’s just not possible to avoid them. You will be able to see how many shields you have on the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Shields will save your life in this game, especially as you go on to the later levels. So switch accordingly to the enemies on screen. Tapping the shooting button (either forward or backwards shooting) gives you a wider shot, while holding down the button gives you a ‘narrow’ shot that is more powerful. Fast Striker gives you a basic three button layout – forward shooting, backwards shooting and a shield. The game is a vertical shooter much like Radiant Silvergun or Ikaruga. It is relentless at times and will probably make you want to throw your controller at the screen. The game advertises it has up to 180 bullets on screen, something that I believe while trying to get through the game. Something that most people will be expecting from Fast Striker is tons of bullets on screen and the game doesn’t disappoint. This is going to be the first indie review for the site, I hope you enjoy it. This review will cover the Dreamcast port. Fast Striker was developed by NG:DEV.TEAM for the Neo Geo MVS, later it was ported to the Dreamcast.
