Publishers Clear River Games and City Connection announced today that the arcade shoot-’em-up game Under Defeat will be coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on December 5th. Previously, the game only confirmed this release date for Japan, but now, the west will also receive the game on the same day.
About Under Defeat
Under Defeat originally released in 2005 and attracted a legion of fans thanks to its high-octane gameplay, as one or two players assume control of a heavily armed helicopter, taking on a non-stop assault of fighters, played across a semi-isometric playfield, with the unique ability to tilt shots left or right when attacking your enemy.
Renowned for its explosive 3D graphics and high intensity gameplay, Under Defeat features three game modes offering high levels of replayability:
- Arcade Mode: This mode faithfully replicates the original arcade experience, with a 4:3 ratio and a pseudo vertical screen.
- New Order Mode: This mode adapts the game for modern displays, transforming the adrenaline packed shooting action to widescreen 16:9 ratio.
- New Order Mode+: This mode brings a host of additional elements to the game, not least being a “WARNING GAUGE,” which adds a risk/reward mechanic to assist the player as they shoot, bomb and swerve through the hordes of enemy invaders.
