Synopsis

«©NCSX»
It's been 11
years since
the last
Thunderforce
game
was released
on a home
console.
That was
July of 1997
when
Technosoft
debuted
Thunderforce
V: Perfect
System
on the
venerable
Sega Saturn.
Adjunct:
When NCS
first got a
hold of
Thunderforce
II
on the Sega
Megadrive
some 20
years ago,
we thought
the voices
were
horrible but
the gameplay
was lovely.
We even
enjoyed the
overhead
shooting
levels.
Sega takes
over
production
of the
latest
Thunderforce
game which
is directed
by Tetsu
Okano whose
previous
credits
include
Gunstar
Super Heroes
and Astro
Boy. TFVI's
graphics
remind us of
the visual
purity that
was
Gradius V.
The first
level of the
game takes
place in a
ruined space
colony
that's been
overrun by
vegetation
and guarded
by a
fire-breathing
Gargoyle
while the
second level
takes
players
planet-side
onto a fiery
world
covered by
an ocean of
lava. The
third stage
plunges
gamers into
a blue world
where the
attack
begins in
the sky but
the fracas
eventually
descends
into the
ocean.
Multiple
weapons may
be used
including
classics
such as the
Hunter Shot,
Twin Shot,
and Wave.
One new
weapon
called "Free
Range" is
reminiscent
of
Soukyugurentai
where a
geometric
web serves
as a
targeting
arc where
anything
within the
web is
decimated by
lasers.
