You play as Major Daaia, the only pilot in the federation who can handle Shikon-X -- a ship with advanced defense capabilities that can also transform into attack mode when needed!

    Earth scientists have mastered the secrets of space energy gathering, and collected vast amounts of energy into what they call "Life Capsules" that form floating clusters orbiting the planet.

    The world has been at peace for decades, but a small guerrilla from planet Rolar has been destroying our Life Capsules, and your mission is to defend our energy source from those terrorists!

    Shikon-X's story unfolds in different ways. The game starts as a graphic adventure where you can chat with your fellow soldiers and solve puzzles to advance the plot. You'll move into an arcade phase that starts similar to Breakout/Arkanoid, bouncing attacks with your ship's body in defense mode, and that'll quickly turn into a shoot 'em up section like Galaga/Space Invaders with wall to wall arcade action. During those arcade sections the story will keep unfolding, so keep your eye into Shikon-X's communication screens to get all the scoop!    … Expand

    Shikon-X Astro Defense Force is delightful. People may find it brief, but the brevity is more than made up for by ample charm and a clear love of the source material it parodies.
