Lords of Thunder — About this game
Duran takes up mystic armour to stop the Garuda Empire from reviving an evil god. The horizontal shooting stages let the player choose elemental equipment, with different attack patterns changing how enemies and bosses should be approached. Gems earned along the route support purchases before later battles, linking survival to how resources are spent. Flying close to a target can increase pressure but also reduces reaction time. Learn one armour's pattern, collect what you safely can and save powerful limited attacks for a dangerous situation.
