Strikers 1945 II is a vertical shoot ’em up released for the Arcade by Psikyo in 1997. The game is the second entry in the Strikers series, featuring World War II-era aircraft equipped with futuristic weaponry. Players dodge dense barrages of enemy fire while taking down massive mechanical bosses that transform mid-battle.
How to play
Press Shift (or 5) to insert a coin, and Enter (or 1) to start. Use the Arrow keys to move your aircraft. Press Z to fire your primary weapon and hold it to charge a powerful secondary attack. Press X to deploy your limited supply of screen-clearing bombs.
Tips
- Save your bombs for boss fights or unavoidable situations, as they not only deal massive damage but also clear all enemy projectiles on the screen.
- Different planes have distinct charge attacks and movement speeds, so experiment to find the one that best suits your playstyle.
