Game Description:
In the year 2098, mankind is blindsided by an alien assault from the distant planet Zeograd. Earth’s fate rests in the hands of Commander Parker Deehan, who pilots the experimental F98 Star Soldier fighter craft into battle. *Vanishing Earth* strips back cinematic cutscenes and deep weapon trees in favor of arcade-pure vertical shooting: fast stages, tight enemy patterns, and immediate action. Dodge, fire, and power-up across seven planets with escalating threat and bullet-hell intensity. Originally part of the Aleck64 arcade family, this console port offers smoother performance and expanded difficulty tiers, retaining Hudson’s signature flair for interstellar shooters.
