Last Resort is a 1-2 player horizontal shooter game where you pilot a spacecraft across horizontally scrolling cityscapes and wastelands, while destroying hordes of enemy spacecraft. Power-up pods provide the craft with a movable drone which can be charged up and fired or locked into position and used as an extra gun or 'battering ram'/shield.
The game features various enemies, including metallic and organic vessels, and mid- and end-level guardians. A clone of R-Type, Last Resort boasts improved graphics and sound compared to its original counterparts.
Last Resort was released on the Neo Geo AES in December 1992 for solo or two-player gameplay.
