Story[]
The AEf-7 Blowneedle has been modified for 360 degree shooting. Although the Legions has been scattered they still remain in sizes large enough to cause damage. The Blowneedle will confirm missions, then go and defeat the remaining enemy fighters, From Area 1-9.
Gameplay[]
The player moves they're ship around the screen using the left stick, and fires using the right. The player hits a bumper-button to change the formation of they're Salone-Satellites. Like the previous title in the series the incoming wave of enemies is shown by a configuration of "trace-lines", pointing out how the enemies will move onto the screen. If the player selects the right satellite configuration and puts themself in the right position they can destroy that wave within a few seconds. If the player shoots a certain ship ten they can finish that wave easily. They're even a stage based on the original where an armada assembles and attacks at the upper section of the screen.
