ヴィ・ファイヴ/ Grind Stormer

Grind Stormer, aka V・V, is a vertically scrolling manic shooter with gorgeous pixel art graphics and an upbeat FM soundtrack. Developed by an all-star team at the legendary Japanese studio Toaplan, known for their stellar shoot ‘em ups.

It’s a game within a game! As a dashing young secret agent in the year 2210, you’ve received an assignment by the government to enter a virtual reality simulator with the NA-00 space fighter craft. The simulator is considered as the ultimate arcade machine. Many players have fought back, but no one has ever cleared it and returned to the real world. When you start to investigate the real purpose, you ask the question “is this really just a game?” Pressing the start button, the speaker gives the start signal. “Showtime!”
