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, either metallic or organic, including huge mid- and end-level guardians. Getting 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. A clone of R-Type (both one and two), but with much improved graphics and sound.
The gameplay is fast-paced, requiring quick reflexes to dodge enemy fire while firing back at your targets. As you progress through the game, new enemies are introduced, along with power-ups and upgrades for your spacecraft. With its challenging levels and rewarding gameplay, Last Resort is a must-play for fans of classic shooters.
