Baryon: Future Assault is a vertical shooter developed by Kaneko in the early nineties, set in a future of interstellar war. It follows the genre's classic structure: power up the ship as you progress, face increasingly numerous waves, and close each stretch with an imposing screen-filling boss. It's one of the lesser-remembered shooters in Kaneko's catalog, with tidy enemy design but without the distinct identity other titles from the studio did have. Interesting for anyone surveying the genre's catalog during its peak production era.
