Game Overview
A vertical scrolling shooter game where you fight a conquering enemy. Defy the oncoming army and navy barrages! Rest assured, you are not alone; you can call up a formation of six friendly fighters. Even though powerful enemies like tanks and battleships don’t require as much reflexes, the player must take a strategic approach. This makes Twin Hawk easy to play for players who aren’t familiar with Toaplan’s diverse lineup of shoot ‘em ups. Once the last stage is cleared, the game enters round 2 and returns to the first stage, but with each loop, the difficulty level increases and there are more bullets to dodge. Like the Japanese title of the game Daisenpu (Great Whirlwind) implies, the game will eventually come roaring into you with full force!
