Overview
Description

Terrorist forces have seized New Seeburg, using heavily armed combat helicopters. As the sole pilot of the secret JAF-3000, you must take to the air, blasting enemies with laser cannons and dousing flames with water cannons. Your mission is tracked on a radar screen that records damage, fires extinguished, and enemies neutralized. Damage to your engine, navigation, cannons, or radar can cripple you, and you may only return to Force Island for repairs twice per mission before the final push.

Set in a dystopian 2016 where martial law reigns, Zero Gunner follows an elite squad of ace helicopter pilots known as ZERO. The team travels worldwide to dismantle a terrorist organization that has seized control of global military forces. The game delivers fast-paced, top‑down shooting action with a variety of helicopters, each offering distinct weapons and upgrade paths. Players must navigate intense aerial combat, destroy enemy bases, and protect the remnants of freedom in a gritty, futuristic setting.
