One of the most emblematic titles from Jaleco, Formation Z, is reborn for the modern era as a full remake featuring updated graphics and sound design.
While staying true to the classic gameplay and intuitive controls of switching between Robot and Flight forms, this version introduces brand-new weaponry and actions.
Now, the curtains rise once again on a shivering and exciting return!
■ Transforming Gameplay: Rule the Land or the Air!
Your Ixpel can transform in real-time between land and air as long as your energy lasts.
Will you choose the Robot Form to dominate the ground with melee attacks and precision shots, or the Flight form to rip through the battlefield at overwhelming speeds?
Traverse 5 vast Mission freely and carve out your own path to victory.

You can challenge individual mission to beat your personal best, with high scores recorded for each area.
