STRIKERS 1945
Psikyo (Atlus) 1996
Sega Saturn

 



An excellent conversion of the hit arcade vertical WWII
shoot-em-up. I do love all this gung-ho propellor-head
chocks-away stuff.. Strikers 1945 takes its futurie-retro 1940s
stylings and gameplay from the
1942 series and Sonic Wings
(aka Aerofighters) which was developed by the same team
this game formed the template for many Psikyo vertical
shooters to come, including three direct sequels,
the Gunbird games and
Dragon Blaze

Psikyo were very generous in offering six selectable fighters. The impressive for their
time graphics paint an alternative World War II scenario where giant mecha and huge
alien robotic transforming airships are the order of the day
