Switchblade II is an action game and the sequel to the 1989 original (Atari ST, Commodore Amiga).
+ Weapon shops encourage you to try out new ways of tackling individual stages, in turn enhancing replayability.
+ Need to constantly top up your ammo for long-range attacks evokes a mild survival element that ups the tension.
+ Boss fights are a real treat with their gigantic sprites and compelling attack patterns that act as a great end of stage pay-off.
- Quite a few instances where blind jumps are required, and the homing missiles often circle their intended target.
- There's no music during the stages, which stifles the intensity and leads to a rather lifeless atmosphere.
