After reading an interview from one of Treasure's lead programmers, I can see how a lot of this game inspired Ikaruga (the shape of the player's bullets, the dramatic explosions ending in a white flash, the tight corridor sections, the final bosses, and what I believe is Sanskrit writing on the environments and enemy ships)
Stage 4 is my favorite. The robot starts flying close to the ground but keeps going up. Like last stage's Airwing Carrier. And the thunder clouds are awesome. And the music is great too.
Sega, in the days of the genesis, had the better quality of shoot em ups. Everything from their game play to their music/sound effects trumped a lot of what was on offer by the time the Super Nintendo came around.
Unfortunate that the sound is messed up, especially since this game's soundtrack is among the *absolute best* of the 16-bit era and on the Genesis, but this video doesn't justify that claim, its too high :( Still a great run of a classic Gen game though!

Retro Soul did you say the best? I thought I was the only one to believe that. Totally agree with you, to me it's even better than Herzog zwei, Shinobi, Streets of rage, thundeforce 3. Incidentally MUSHA ALESTE is the best game on megadrive imo
I've seen that there are plenty of people who prefer Robo Aleste, even if more prefer MUSHA. Both are excellent games, and both are very different in many ways despite feeling similar. I found Robo Aleste to be less consistent in the way it plays. The games are so similar that picking a favorite is more likely to come down to style than anything else. I prefer MUSHA's visual style, audio style, and gameplay style. The ability to take a hit then urgently look for the next power up makes it so much fun for me. Robo Aleste is a wonderful and charming game that sucks me in when I play it, even when it gives me a hard time.
I've saved a few dozen peoples lives. I've arrested over a hundred people. I have conducted intensive criminal invesitgations that have lead to major charges. Beating M.U.S.H.A on the hardest difficulty was still the most insane thing I have ever done. looking back on it a decade later, I still don't understand how I did it.
My absolute favorite vertical scrolling shooter ever. I remember finding this at a Blockbuster video rental store when I was about 14, and rented it for the weekend. I loved every second playing this game. The music in particular was/is fantastic. It's a shame this is do hard to find...
I couldn't care less for this game, but the soundtrack - now that's an entirely different story altogether! Very impressive. The creators knew that if there is one thing to wow the player with - that would it it. One of the best metal virtuoso albums out there (and free). The best overall soundtrack on Megadrive.
The game is actually amazing as well. I guess if you don't like shmups you won't care much for it, but I was never a big shmup guy, played MUSHA this year and it's now in my top 10 games ever. Idk it's just really really fun, getting better at the game, memorizing it, all with the amazing soundtrack
Haha, I loved the text they added to the US version about Terri recovering from her "minor wounds" and awaiting "new adventures," as if she was just going to bounce back from watching her entire team get slaughtered in an instant. Oh, she's a trooper, but I think she's got a lot of medical leave coming...
The extra life jingle, a trademark of Compile shmups, and of Compile's Puyo Puyo games as well. In other words, same developers who did this, also did Puyo Puyo.
i just downloaded this ROM into my retroid and OMG blast from the past! i miss this game in my sega genesis when i was 13! i wish they made a MANGA storey to it. Would be sick like Macross!
Actually, the SNES did have several scrolling shooters that were genuinely excellent, and had barely any slowdowns at all. "Space Megaforce" can easily compete with the best scrolling shooters on the Mega Drive, and a few other great SNES games in that genre are "U.N. Squadron", "Super Aleste" and "FirePower 2000", and all of those games have excellent music as well.
What I understand is that PAL region games (50Hz) when played on NTSC consoles or emulators configured to run at NTSC speeds (59.94Hz), the chips processes some information slightly faster than expected of the game cart (including the sound sampling chip) and the result ends up slightly faster, about roughly 6/5 speed. The same occurs when the opposite happens. This one is likely to be a ROM dump of a Europe (PAL) cart but played on an emulator running at NTSC speed. I usually play Japanese ROM dumps and it doesn't sound like this.

If you have a genesis/ megadrive I suggest getting a reproduction cartridge unless you want to pay hundreds of dollars for a real copy and I think It's also available on the wii or wii u virtual console.

The pitch is off in this video but yeah the original score is mindblowing.
one of the best games I played as a teenager.
The way the face inside the orb changes over time, getting angrier. This game is so fucking good.

This should have been on the Sega Genesis MINI
tom11zz884 It is in the japanese version.
Hackchi dude. Easy to set up. I have it on my SNESmini. It's already an emulator anyway so what not add more ROMs?
It's coming to nintendo Switch online
Time change, it's release for NSO.
Absolutely right I would love to have it on the mini.

Wait that opening. Did Neir Automata pay homage to this games opening? Like almost exactly
that game required some insane ninja goku reflexes

Why Is the Music so high pitch? The cartridge doesn't sound like this.
Probably the emulator.
He has the "super hq" box ticked on the emulator.

Musha aleste is legendary with Spectacular graphics and STUNNING gameplay
36:11 wow... epic trolling there.
And wow... how fast this game is... Had to check my youtube hadn't somehow gone onto double speed...
All time favorite shooter for me
one my favorites. best shump by far.
OMG game of my childhood
This sega vibes its something special!!!
What an awesome game
Is this tool assisted? Because it looks like he takes a few hits without it damaging him.
This game is the closest you’ll get to a CAVE shooter on a 16-bit console. I think it might’ve laid the foundation too. Still holds up today.
Something in my life would have been missing without this game
Yeah, _this game._
Great game from 1990
It's not the quality of the sound, it's simply the pitch. I think it's probably just bad emulation of the sound chip.
@BladuS100 This game is called Musha Aleste in Japan. Robo Aleste must be a sequel or something.

I like how one of the in-game sound effects is basically the All Clear jingle from Puyo Puyo.
The extra life jingle, a trademark of Compile shmups, and of Compile's Puyo Puyo games as well. In other words, same developers who did this, also did Puyo Puyo.
So I'm guessing they were using an emulator means they were doing this tool assisted or w/ save states?
Music is wayy off dude
What emulator did you use?
A bad one.
This was my shit!!! The blue power up was my favorite
its an emulated version. i didn't realize it before.
SEISMIC did some amazing shooters including Hellfire which NOBODY talks about!!!
Because Hellfire is from Toaplan.
They helped publish the games.
MUSHA was worked by Compile
Hellfire was worked by Toaplan
The music and the artwork on this game are superb...
What a game and oustanding music!!!
First she lost her father, now she lost her friends. Is vengeance all she has left?
music and sfx has high pitch which is musha not

The green power up always reminded me of TG16 Blazing Lasers.
Wrong, This video is actually much higher pitched than the game should actually sound on either model.
This game was in hundreds of dollars did they sell lot of copies? I think this game is more expansive then the sega consol
Wow ,simply wonderful game 16 bit Genesis -Mega Drive forever
Love this game :)
I didn't either, and I have this game on my Wii U (Virtual Console).
M. U. S. H. A. Stands For METTALIC UNIFRAME SUPER H Y B R I D ARMOR
What's with the soundtrack? The pitch sounds like it's a semitone too high...maybe even an octave
@alexrod8305 My Genesis is a model 1 with the high definition graphics logo and the pitch of the music is deeper.
What the hell is wrong with the OST
oohh my..that's amazing game
sorry it took me so long to respond . to get the better sound you have to use the headphone jack
amazing playing
The sound is way off. Sounds way better on real hardware. Still a nice video.
PAL and NTSC differences
Is the music different in PAL or is it due to the speed? I noticed a Contra game I played on PAL had similar issues I never enjoyed.
What I understand is that PAL region games (50Hz) when played on NTSC consoles or emulators configured to run at NTSC speeds (59.94Hz), the chips processes some information slightly faster than expected of the game cart (including the sound sampling chip) and the result ends up slightly faster, about roughly 6/5 speed.

A shame but I have no idea why they do this.
Yeh, crappy emulator is completely butchering the sound, as usual :(
Man, have a mercy for supports. Poor little guys...
The genesis came in two different sound chips. basically the first model has the better one that's why it sound so dam good.
So much blast processing,
not enough screen resolution (and FPS) to show for it
omg this game mark my lifeeeeeeee
In another skill levels different ending
Long live metal BGM!!
Is this game related to Robo Aleste at all? It looks just like it.
There should have been a sequel detailing Terri's battle with PTSD and alcoholism.
Awesome 👍👍👍👍👍

Oo that music
The sound is different than mine version, what is that version?

This is the only way I can take the game in. It's a masterpiece all around but I can't get past the first level.

Very good.
Why is so expensive?
It sounds... off pitch?? Like it's too high or something. And possibly too fast as well, maybe he had the PAL ROM running an NTSC mode.
