Miles ahead of the original Arcade... but it has some issues,
the lack of 3 player support, some missing animations, missing music from the original arcade & thus the strange recycling of some soundtracks.
The lack of Hong Hua is also another unfortunate omission, just think, we could have had a 4 player Night Slashers back in 2008.
there is also the fact that in order to enjoy it & have perfect game-play, it really needs an older version of OpenBOR, because some enemy behavior & other things get buggy & may break the game with the latest version
compared to the other variants in 2021, this one is almost completely bug-free
