M.U.S.H.A.

A spin-off from the Aleste series by Compile, Musha Aleste takes the same top-down shooter mechanics of its predecessors but stages the action in a bizarre universe that merges traditional Japanese lore with sci-fi mecha action. Instead of commanding a ship, you will actually step into the cockpit of a ninja-styled mecha as you fight through the ten levels in the game, with several option satellites that can be configured to use different formations.
