Description of Captain Fizz Meets the Blaster-Trons

Dragon Force, Icarus, and Assault Dragon are three competent 2D side-scrolling shooters from Korea, based on the same mundane sci-fi plot about defending the Earth from alien invaders.

All three games offer no-nonsense shooter gameplay, with elaborate background graphics, nice enemy ship designs that recall Macross and similar Japanese manga series, and a rocking soundtrack. The games are not very difficult, but the nice variety of levels and enemy ships make for a few hours of relaxing fun. Well worth a look as some of the best games from Korea, even if they are by no means classics of the genre.

The review above is clearly about a different game entirely. This is not a 2D side-scrolling shoot-'em-up, being rather closer to Gauntlet, with 2-players being needed. It seems the confusion is based on the original BBC Micro's version being called Icarus.

In any case, the game did not get much love in the reviews, but it would be nice if the information here on the game were correct.
