Overview
Description

After Vanessa Gaiden vanished following her victory over the Evil Empire, her husband Gordian dons the powerful Gunlord suit to hunt her down. His quest leads him to the tyrannical planet lord known as The Master, who forges armies of steel creatures to terrorize the cosmos. Players guide Gordian through hostile worlds, confronting massive boss encounters and uncovering the fate of Vanessa while mastering the suit’s arsenal in a fast‑paced, side‑scrolling shooter adventure.

Take the gunner seat of the futuristic GeoSword fightercraft and blast through waves of enemy ships across ten varied missions. From soaring through canyon canyons on Redeye to infiltrating massive battlecruisers, the game blends classic arcade shooting with enhanced 3D graphics.\nThe PlayStation and 3DO versions let you choose between a pure arcade mode and an enhanced mode with fully textured polygons and fullscreen view, delivering a nostalgic yet visually upgraded space shooter experience.
