About the Game

Nationwide shooting fans, the wait is over!

Following Sengoku Ace and Gunbird, Saikyo's third vertical-scrolling shooter!

A hardcore shooter set during World War II.

Choose your plane from six real-world legendary fighters.

Diverse formation attacks with escort option planes.

Enemy forces feature numerous superweapons never deployed in actual combat.

・STORY・

Summer 1945. World War II ended. The world seemed to have regained a semblance of peace.

However, the mysterious international organization “CANY,” long rumored to be colluding with military high commands worldwide, secretly seized control of the military. They plotted to subvert the entire world from within using a new class of weapons that had never reached actual deployment.

The Allied Command Headquarters, quickly detecting the unsettling movements across nations, secretly assembled the world's finest fighter planes and their pilots. They formed the special forces unit, the Strikers, to oppose CANY.

Here, the curtain rises on the final world war, hidden in the shadows of history.
