Reminiscent of summer days spent hunched-over a coin-op machine in a dark arcade, Project Sylpheed is a 3-D makeover of the classic, mid-‘80s scrolling shooter franchise. As Katana Faraway, players must pilot a Delta Saber space fighter equipped with a highly customizable arsenal of weapons. In order to succeed, Katana must execute squadron commands and monitor their speed, shield, radar and weapons as they maneuver out of challenging situations and defend Earth against the evil ADAN forces.
