Shootlanzer
Battle Record of a Midair Mobile Soldier
Leona Almeida is a rookie on the Norngradian Shootlanzer Powered Armor Advance Unit, Second Forward Corps. On her first mission at the border of the tyrannical Iglid Empire, Leona is separated from her unit.
Blasting her way back to her unit, Leona discovers the Iglid Empire is preparing a massive strike on Norngrad's capital city, Valkheim, and that she is the only one who can save Valkheim from destruction.
A love-letter to classics R-Type and Gradius, Shootlanzer is a fast-paced, 2D shoot’em up where players take control of Leona Almeida and test their reflexes as they blast their way through squadrons of Iglid soldiers.
Leona’s story is a baptism by fire; as a rookie stranded behind enemy lines, she discovers an imminent plot against her country, and rushes back to warn them, taking down as many enemies as she can along the way. With several types of firing patterns, screen-clearing bombs, and an evasive dodging maneuver, Shootlanzer’s high-speed combat sets the stage for an underdog story of triumph over the commanding generals of the Iglid Empire.
