Blaze of Storm is a standard vertical scrolling shmup. The main character, a pilot, fights against enemies in cyberspace as a cyber diver.

Two types of weapons are available: a main weapon and a subweapon. The main weapon is a Vulcan shot that is fired in front of the player's ship. The subweapon type can be changed by getting an item.

Subweapons have different performance depending on their type. Some circle around the ship to defend against enemy bullets, others automatically track and attack the enemy, and so on.

In addition, subweapons can generate an explosion by hitting the enemy with the weapon itself, and this explosion can cause great damage to the enemy.

Enemies appear in cyberspace in a wide variety of shapes, including mecha, creatures, and plants.

This is a shmup in which you can take advantage of the properties of subweapons and their explosions to your advantage. Stay tuned!

Story:

In the year 794 of the Cyber Century, the nation was managed by a giant computer called "Elixia." Elixia controlled all aspects of politics, economy, and the military, making war and poverty a thing of the past. However, that peace suddenly crumbles.

Unidentified enemies appeared in cyberspace and began to erode the system of Elixia. The city's infrastructure was in chaos, communication networks were cut off, and people faced fear.

In response to this situation, cyberdiver "Ayame Crow" began investigating cyberspace. Cyberdivers are people with special abilities who can directly connect their consciousness to cyberspace.

Behind this crisis, it was discovered that there was a human being called "Phantom" who uploaded his mind into cyberspace. He was plotting to control Elixia in order to lead humanity to chaos that he called freedom.

Now, the cyberspace battle to save humanity from crisis begins!
