Lightning Force

LIGHTNING FORCE — PROJECT 07

A hand-crafted side-scrolling shoot 'em up in the spirit of Japanese arcade classics, rebuilt in full HD.

Pilot the VX-07 "Stratos" through 30 areas — from the frozen Orbital Rim and the crackling Ion Storm Belt to the Magma Core, the Void Reactor and the Final Gate. Every area has a mid-boss and a giant boss, and the difficulty climbs with every single one.

TRANSFORM AND FIGHT

Collect capsules and wingmen dock onto your fighter, upgrading it through four forms. At full power the VX-07 becomes the BATTROID — and when a giant kaiju appears the shooting stops and a hand-to-hand robot duel begins. Jab, heavy, perfect guard, counter and a lightning special, against five different kaiju.
