Thunder Force V , released on 1998-08-31 for the Playstation console, is a fast-paced Shoot'em Up game where you take on the role of a pilot fighting against an evil alien race threatening the Earth. The aliens' plan to destroy human life has only one goal: total domination.
The gameplay is intense and action-packed, with a variety of powerful weapons at your disposal. Each weapon has a special "blast mode" that can be triggered by holding down the fire button, adding an extra layer of strategy to the game. The graphics have been improved with 2D polygons, replacing traditional sprites, while the music features rearranged techno versions of classic Thunder Force themes.
