From a distance, the ship looked like the Ikaruga. I think I may have heard a sample for this. Awesome pic!

Freaking awesome stuff. The ship makes me think of Ikaruga while the mech a cross between MUSHA and Zone of the Enders.

I came in at the tail end of that era, but even I can see game covers as a lost artform
