Ashura Blaster (阿修羅ブラスター) is a 1990 vertically scrolling shoot 'em up developed by Visco and published by Taito for arcades. The player controls a helicopter (selecting 1 of 4 bomb configurations) and shoots enemies in the air and ground, collects power-ups, and defeats bosses to advance levels.
Reception
CU Amiga gave it 65% and said "It's straight ahead two-player vertical blasting without frills."[1]
Zero said "all in all I found it rather uninspiring. Save your dosh."[2]
Speciale Annuario Videogiochi '91 said it was very similar to previous helicopter games.[3]
Joystick said it was a rehash with little innovation.[4]
