SEGA AGES Lightening Force: Quest for the Darkstar

Released: 9/20/2018

From the legendary game developers at Technosoft! Battle against the Vios forces and fly as RYNEX in this side-scrolling shmup that enthralled the world with its innovative ideas, beautiful pixel graphics, and a rocking soundtrack. After beating the game, unlock "STYX" Mode and jump in the cockpit of the distinguished FIRE LEO-03 "STYX" from Thunder Force III. Take the STYX’s full arsenal from the previous game in this mode, but will this older model be able to survive?
