Not if the music of said band was shit no.
Zpf's music is perfectly serviceable for the gameplay but that's about it. I have a hard time imagining someone giving this soundtrack a spin on their music system.
Err I said band you liked, then you probably don’t think it shit.
I really dig the art style of ZFP that is a major factor why I purchased the vinyl. I definitely own worse records.

Not really feeling this one, but we will see. Earthion looks to capture that 90s shmup vibe better.

I was excited about this when the first teaser trailer dropped ages ago, but now... not so much. The colors are garish on the level with the trees and the way the multiple layers scroll just looks terrible. They should have taken a page from the Sonic games for parallax. The level with the static turtles in the background looks even worse artistically. From what I've seen, Eartheon and Irena: Metal Fury both look more impressive and pleasing to the eye without the weird colors and graffiti style.

I'm ordering all three. In this day and age, I'm hungry for 2D sprite shmups. I'm sure Eartheon will be the best but I'll enjoy the others also.

I hear ya. Hopefully they all turn out great. In the meanwhile, I'll wait and see how things turn out.

It's called support work of people you like. this is a labour of love not a commercial game.
