Under Defeat

Under Defeat is a vertical-scrolling military shooter set more than a decade into a war between the Empire and the Federation, which divides the continent. As both sides near exhaustion, they begin negotiations and agree on a ceasefire date. New weapons and prototypes continue to be deployed in anticipation of the ceasefire, as a new battle begins. You pilot a combat helicopter and use attacks against both aerial and ground targets to destroy enemy weapons.

Combat missions

Choose one of four combat helicopters. Aim your anti-air and anti-ground shots as you maneuver, and sometimes close in quickly on enemies to attack. Missions combine straightforward controls with strategic stage progression. Battles include allied losses and radio communications between friend and foe as you face various weapons.

Game modes

The game includes three modes with different screen sizes, stage structures and rules: NEW ORDER, NEW ORDER+ and Arcade. Training mode lets you practice selected stages and record replay footage. In Online Rankings, you compete with players nationwide in score attacks, while Gallery unlocks illustrations and other materials as you make progress.

Controls and music

Options include DUAL STICK controls for switching shot operations, subtitles for in-stage radio communications, and on-screen displays of contribution levels and rank. The game also includes the BOOSTED BGM set, composed by Shinji Hosoe and other members of SuperSweep, alongside tracks from past releases. You can play with your preferred BGM version.
