Strikers 1945

Strikers 1945 is a vertical-scrolling shooter first released in arcades in 1995. You pilot a fighter plane across the sea and sky to stop a secret organization from taking over the world. Battleships and tanks transform into futuristic mechs, and challenging boss battles test your skills.

Planes and weapons

You can fly six different World War II-era fighter planes, each with its own features. Collect “P” items to power up and add sub-weapons, and “B” items to get bombs that clear enemy bullets and help you evade foes. You can also unleash a formation attack against enemies.

Arcade mode

Arcade mode offers seven selectable difficulty levels, including HARD and VERY HARD. You can set the number of lives from 1 to 9 and the number of continues from 0 to unlimited. The options also let you choose the ending for the arcade version, select a screen filter from the normal +2 version, and configure Shot, Auto Shot and Bomb controls.

You can play with a vertical screen in arcade style or operate that layout in horizontal mode. Local rankings cover all difficulty levels and your chosen planes.

Score Attack

Score Attack uses a fixed difficulty level and number of lives. Compete for high scores against players around the world, and view online rankings from the options menu.
