In a distant future, a plague of parasitic monsters is sweeping across
 the known universe, devouring all the resources in its path; including
 the inhabited worlds that humanity calls home.

 Silpheed and the hyper-skilled pilot at the controls. 

 Blast through eight levels of intense combo-driven gameplay, utilizing
 nine blazing weapon types that are unlocked as the player progresses
