RayCrisis is part of a series of "Ray" shooting games. In the story, it takes place before the events of RayForce . The game's plot revolves around the Waverider computer virus's mission to infiltrate the Con-Human supercomputer's system.
You control a Waverider computer virus as it navigates through levels called Self-Area, Emotion, Consciousness, Intelligence, Memory, and Consideration. You have two weapons at your disposal: a vulcan gun and a lock-on missile attack. Special attacks can be unleashed by maximizing the use of the lock-on system.
The game features 3D graphics, but its gameplay mechanics are in 2D. Your goal is to fight against enemies known as antibodies, programmed to terminate any virus, and ultimately face off against the Dis-Human Antibody and Infinity, Con-Human's heart.
