UNDER DEFEAT is a vertically scrolling shooter that offers players a deep dive into military combat. The action takes place in a world where the Empire and the Federation have been at war for over a decade, with both sides growing weary and seeking a truce. With the impending truce uncertain, new weapons and combat strategies are put into play, setting the stage for an even more intense conflict. Gamers take control of a combat helicopter tasked with neutralizing enemy forces by delivering a variety of strikes against air and ground targets. UNDER DEFEAT is not just about aiming and shooting.
