19XX: The War Against Destiny - Clear (Shinden, 7,028,900 pts)

I love the music and the graphics in this game, but actual gameplay is kinda jank. It was hard to force myself to treat things seriously, because the game just sleeps until stage 5-ish, and then it ramps up on the stage 6 boss, and then nothing works because it tries to be Rayforce.
It was so jank that I was actually about to drop this game, but then it turned out I missed half the game mechanics, so I went back and cleared soon after. To be more exact:
Slow ships are bad;
Laser is very powerful;
You can charge your bombs! There are 3 levels, and you get a screen cancel on starting AND ending the charge, so you basically double the cancels;
There's an extend on stage 5. Just before the music changes, there's this place with balconies. You want to shoot the left balcony with a wide or narrow shot, not laser, and a 1-up will come out;
There's another extend if you get 3 7's in your score, or something? I don't think i got it.
Total time: 8 hours.
Play count: 28.
