Vortex (formerly known as Citadel) is a 3D shooter game developed by Argonaut Software and released by Electro Brain for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in September 1994.[1] It is one of a few titles designed to use the enhanced graphics of the Super FX powered GSU-1.
Gameplay
The player pilots an experimental mech called the Morphing Battle System against the seven worlds of the Aki-Do Forces.[2] The MBS can transform between four different modes, fueling unconfirmed speculation that the concept may have been derived from an unreleased game based on Transformers: Generation 2.[3]
Reception
Electronic Gaming Monthly scored the game a 6 out of 10. They remarked that the pace is slow, but complimented the unique concept and high challenge.[4]
