🎮 Play Ashura Blaster Japan Online (Arcade)

Ashura Blaster is a vertical-scrolling shoot ’em up released for arcades in 1990, developed by Visco and published by Taito. Players pilot a heavily armed helicopter through intense military-themed stages, fighting off tanks, aircraft, and massive bosses. The game stands out by letting players choose both their primary weapon type—such as rapid-fire straight cannons, wide-spread missiles, or backward-firing lasers—and a devastating secondary bomb attack at the start of each mission.

How to Play

The objective is to survive each stage by dodging enemy fire and destroying incoming waves of military hardware.

• Move: Arrow Keys
• Fire Weapon: Z
• Use Bomb: X
• Insert Coin: Shift
• Start: Enter

Tips

• The yellow laser weapon configuration is highly valuable as it can fire backward, allowing you to destroy enemies that flank you from the bottom of the screen.
• Save your screen-clearing bombs for boss encounters or when you are completely trapped by bullet spreads, as your supply is very limited.
