Tyrian is a pretty boring game overall; right from the start, the inertia movement is a dead giveaway, the shield regenerates quite fast, making all the risk of the main game absolutely non-existent. Aside from the painfully simple patterns and hazards, the bullets do not synchronize correctly with the background, giving a rather ugly look when you're moving around, the weapon shop is busted, and engage mode is a poorly designed difficulty where you have to make button combinations to put on weapons and defend yourself with something.
Among the virtues that this game has, I can highlight its beautiful pixelart and this boss

Now tell me reasons why this design philosophy is better than the vast majority of arcade and console shmups made by people who DID play shmups.
