Game Introduction
You play either Hikaru Ichijo (player 1) or Max Jenius (player 2) who must battle the Zentraeti forces in their VF-1S Strike Valkyries through six stages of mindless destruction.
Game Play
The game play is fairly similar to that of Raiden. Your Valkyrie fighter transforms into three modes (fighter, gerwalk, and battroid) by grabbing power-ups labled F, G, and B. Each mode has its own set of weapons.
