Gate of Thunder — About this game
Pilot the Hunting Dog against Obellon's forces in a horizontally scrolling shooter built around three weapon types and movable support units. Weapon pickups strengthen the available fire, while selecting the right attack changes how effectively the craft covers an incoming wave. The support units can turn to handle threats behind as well as ahead, making their position part of survival. Keep the craft at a speed that leaves room for accurate dodging and learn a boss's firing pattern before settling into position to attack. The mission to protect Aries connects a tightly paced sequence of mechanical battle zones.
