Strikers 1945 Plus (ストライカーズ1945PLUS) is a shoot 'em up video game for the Neo Geo created by Psikyo. This game is a remake of Strikers 1945 II for different hardware, featuring a horizontal screen.

Gameplay

The player chooses one of six planes or can opt for a random choice. The first four stages are in random order, while the last four are sequential. Players collect weapon powerups, bombs, and gold bars for points. Each plane has a unique "supershot" which is charged by damaging enemies and fired by holding then releasing the fire button. Supershots can be stored, although the number varies from plane to plane. Using a bomb results in a large friendly fighter swooping onto the screen and blocking shots while returning fire for a few seconds.

After the player beats the final boss, the game starts again from the beginning, albeit at a much higher difficulty level. All level are similar to the ones in Strikers 1945 II. Only one of the four bosses that are randomly chosen and the sixth boss is changed.

Plot

It is winter of 1945 and the Strikers have successfully eliminated C.A.N.Y.'s forces. It was a fight against a militaristic faction that failed to accept the Potsdam Declaration of 1945. C.A.N.Y.'s threat shrouded the entire world in the darkness of war. However, another militaristic faction, codenamed F.G.R., now has the C.A.N.Y. technology stolen from the US Department of Defense, and plans to initiate global warfare with hi-tech surveillance equipment. Sending a new weapons experimental development unit into active duty, the Strikers, christened as saviors of the world, are called into action once again.

PSP edition

In 2008, Gamewave magazine has confirmed that Strikers 1945 Plus will get a PSP release for February 2009,[1] titled Strikers 1945 Plus Portable. PM Studios, the publishers of DJ Max Fever, published the game as a downloadable game on July 30, 2009 in the United States.
