About Psikyo Shooting Stars Alpha

STRIKERS 1945, STRIKERS 1945 II, STRIKERS 1945 III, SOL DIVIDE, Dragon Blaze, and ZERO GUNNER 2 combine forces in one arcade collection! Bring the arcade home by blasting through these shooters vertically in the popular ‘TATE’ mode for the ultimate shoot-’em-up experience!

STRIKERS 1945

The mysterious terrorist organization CANY seeks to prolong World War II using powerful alien technology. Their goal: world domination. To combat the oncoming threat, the Allies and Axis powers have combined the forces of their best pilots to challenge the oppressive power of CANY. Enter the Strikers team, the last hope for humanity!

Experience this definitive aerial shooter in all of its original arcade glory, with lightning-fast gameplay, enormous transforming bosses, and six unique planes each with their own upgradable weapons. Take the fight for peace to the skies! (Originally released in 1995.)

STRIKERS 1945 II

CANY has fallen, but a new threat has emerged: the FGR faction. With the power of CANY’s giant mecha technology at their disposal, the world must turn to the Strikers once again, and the engines of war must rev up and roar!

The stakes have never been higher in this follow-up to the classic arcade shooter, picking up where STRIKERS 1945 left off. Powerful new planes, bigger bosses, and faster, more streamlined gameplay make this an action-packed experience to remember! (Originally released in 1997.)

STRIKERS 1945 III

It has been 54 years since the Strikers’ last flight, but a new danger known as the ‘nanites’ has appeared. This swarm of evolving alien microbots has infiltrated Earth’s military bases, and the Strikers must now form an unlikely alliance with their old foes, the FGR faction, in order to stop them!

This is STRIKERS in its most intense evolution yet, with vivid modern backgrounds setting the stage for blistering aerial action unlike anything seen before in the series. Harness the speed and firepower of five all-new planes, master the new chain scoring system, and exercise your tactical mettle against the most advanced enemies and bosses ever encountered in the series. (Originally released in 1999.)

SOL DIVIDE

The evil emperor Ifter seeks to become a demon and use his infernal power to wipe out humanity and take over the world. Only three powerful heroes can rise up and stop his nefarious campaign…but what path will they take to reach him?

Combining the elements of genres such as horizontal shooters, beat-’em-ups, and RPGs, Sol Divide dares to defy convention. Three unique playable characters, dynamic ranged and melee combat, and an epic journey with multiple story paths and fierce boss encounters make this unusual arcade entry an instant classic. (Originally released in 1996.)

Dragon Blaze

Four dragon rider knights have been chosen by the sun and moon gods to embark on a dangerous quest to collect ancient artifacts. Though their motives and convictions differ, their end goals are the same: open up a portal to Hell and slay the Demon King! But will their journeys end in triumph…or ruin?

This intense fantasy shooter puts you on the warpath against swarms of enemies and bosses in order to reach the Demon King. In order to survive, you will need to master your dragon rider skills, including maneuvering, magic, and the unique “dragon shoot” that allows you to fire from two places at once while dodging enemy fire. (Originally released in 2000.)

ZERO GUNNER 2

The evil conglomerate Igem threatens to take over the world using ONI, a weather control machine that runs on a unique energy source of Igem’s design. To stop them, the blazing guns of the Zero Gunner helicopter squadron are called in to destroy ONI and take down Igem!

ZERO GUNNER 2 is an innovative gem among arcade shooters, implementing a special lock-on system that allows your vehicle to aim and shoot in any direction on screen. In combination with each helicopter’s unique upgradable weapons and special attacks, you will have all you need to challenge waves of enemies and bosses spread across seven intense stages of aerial combat. (Originally released in 2001.)
