Star Soldier is maybe the best vertically scrolling shoot'em up game at the time of its release and together with Gradius amongst the best early shooters for the Famicom/NES. The game plays like an advanced version of Tecmo's early shoot'em up game Star Force, which was also ported to the Famicom/NES by Hudson Soft. Some graphical elements are repetitive, which is normal with a game from 1986. But the controls and playability are already top-notch and the game is surely a breakthrough for Hudson Soft to become a big player amongst shoot'em up developers.
