Game Introduction
The game was produced in Japan only. The game play is similar to Raiden II.
Game Play
Each ship has a salvo of special attacks that erase all bullets onscreen as well as damaging enemy units. There are three weapon types for use by the player: the Vulcan cannon (red) which is powerful but has no homing capability, Lightning (blue) which leaps from enemy to enemy when deployed but is not too powerful, and Missiles (yellow) which have a wide blast radius and homing capability but are useless against boss enemies.
