Air Buster vs Counter-Strike 2
Side-by-side comparison of features, pricing, ratings, and alternatives.
Air Buster is a 1990 horizontal scrolling shooter that builds on the legacy of R‑Type, Gradius and Truxton. It offers fast‑paced, sci‑fi combat with a unique two‑player co‑operative mode. Developed and published by Kaneko (with Tec Toy handling distribution), the game delivers retro pixel graphics, power‑up upgrades and challenging boss encounters, all playable on PC.
