    "I'm going to show you what happens when you fly into a wall at full speed on Hard mode"
    *ship explodes instantly*
    "And, that's why it's in Awful Games"
    No, this isn't a good reason. This is not an awful game.
    That makes sense in the context of the game. Even on Easy, running headlong into a wall at full speed does a great deal of damage.

    I'm baffled that this game is considered awful. Controls are great, graphics are great, gameplay is awesome. Most importantly, the game is original and quite deep. Games like Lunar Lander played with the same momentum in flight mechanic but Sub-Terrania takes it to a whole new level. It's a space shooter that has a different objective every level rather than: shoot everything you see. And the difficulty curve is totally fair. Anyone can get past the first level, second level takes practice, third level takes real problem solving skill, and so on. If anything Sub-Terrania is a grossly underrated classic whose worst crimes are not being identical every other shmup of the 90s and taking more than 20 seconds to figure out. Oh, and it was tailor made for speedrunning. Ignore what everyone says, try it for yourself, form your own opinion.

    Sub-terrania is undoubtedly the best game that has ever been featured in the "awful" block of a GDQ.
    Seriously, what's it doing here? The only reasons they have are that the controls are sensitive and it's hard when you play on the hardest difficulty.
    It's an excellent game.

    Sub-Terrania is one of the best games of the 16bit era, it didn't receive a 9 out of 10 by EDGE for nothing.
    It's just that most people (especially in America) have no experience with the sub-genre of gravity shooters (which is amazing). Here in Europe, the success of games like Thrust and Oids back in the 80s created a fanbase for this style of games. This is why europeans usually appreciate Sub-Terrania more than americans.

  • @judsongaiden9878
    @judsongaiden9878 4 роки тому +2

    By "awful" game, you mean "awfully hard" game. That was part of its charm. It requires intense focus to master, just like the original Flashback. The soundtrack is awesome because it was done by Jesper Kyd JAKOBSon. If it took more than one shot, you weren't using a Jakobs.
    *Note:* PixelJunk Shooter is the spiritual successor to Sub-Terrania.
    14:32 Every SHMUP from the '80s and '90s had to have something that resembles "options." Why are they called "options" anyway?
    17:50 Svin's final form looks like a nudibranch (aka "sea slug").
    19:55 Notice how they even use the descriptor "cool-minded," no doubt referring to the mental focus this game requires to be played proficiently.

    How have I never heard of this game before? Leaving the "Better than Super Mario Bros. 3" joke aside, this game is awesome. Like how is it not one of the most well known Mega Drive games? I can totally see this game being released even today.

      You can get a new, sealed copy on eBay for $15-20 right now, if you are so interested. Several different vendors have it. A couple people are even selling boxes of the game, so it must have been extremely overproduced. I think it's a really fun game, too, in any event.
