Having settled across various star systems, humanity developed unique cultures and scientific advancements, yet simultaneously fell into conflict, sparking a succession of large-scale interstellar wars. The flames of war eventually reached Earth itself; a rebel force from another star system—possessing technology far superior to Earth's—brought a massive fleet led by a space aircraft carrier into Earth's orbit and demanded unconditional surrender. In response, the Earth Defense Force launched a top-secret operation codenamed "Viper Phase 1," the plan for which was to infiltrate the enemy carrier, gather data, seize a new type of enemy fighter, and then use that fighter to destroy the carrier.<br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Development History ==<br /> If available, you can include information here about the hardware, the development of the game, and its general reception.

The introduction to the player should be a simple, concise summary of the game, including information like release date, ports, and making sure to note who the developer is using [] brackets. <br /> <br /> It's also important to note when games might contain specific cultural relevance, such as innovating on a new style of game, or excellent/poor critical reception.<br /> <br /> The infobox (on the top right on this page) should contain all basic information about the game such as developer, people involved, release date etc. The image included should be the title screen of the game. You can change the color of the infobox and add a variety of other parameters. For this, please check the template page for the infoxbox: [[Template:GameInfobox]]<br /> <br /> If the page has a video index, please keep the VideoIndex template directly above the TOC as shown here. Otherwise, please remove it.<br /> <br /> {{VideoIndex}}<br /> __TOC__<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == Gameplay Overview ==<br /> The '''gameplay overview''' section starts out with the '''controls''' of the game, including all of the buttons used and what they're used for. ''It's recommended to keep the control layout simple and easy to understand.'' Feel free to note the directions that the player can move as well, if you wish or if it's notable (horizontal only, 4 way, 8 way, analog, etc).

''Otherwise, omit this section.''<br /> <br /> === Characters / Ships / Styles ===<br /> ----<br /> This section should include the characters or ships, if any, that the player can select in the game. Ideally, different "styles" (for games that use them, such as ''[[DoDonPachi]]'') would also be included here. <br /> <br /> If there is only one playable character and no elements to augment/customize your ship, ''this section can be omitted from the page''.<br /> <br /> === Weapons ===<br /> ----<br /> This section describes the weapons that you use in the game and elaborates on them further. Stuff like standard shots, focus shots, bombs, weapon pickups that differ in functionality, options, etc. ''This can be omitted if not relevant to the game in question.''<br /> <br /> === Items ===<br /> ----<br /> This section describes any and all collectibles that you acquire in the game. An example being any '''Power Up items''' or '''Medals''' from ''[[Battle Garegga|Battle Garegga]]''. Include secret items such as extra lives as well.<br /> <br /> === Rank ===<br /> ----<br /> If the game features a relevant [[rank]] system, use this section to discuss it in more detail. ''Otherwise, this can be omitted.''<br /> <br /> === Loops ===<br /> ----<br /> If a game features a [[loop]] system, elaborate on it in detail here.

It is the first in the ''Strikers'' series of shooting games, followed by ''[[Strikers 1945 II]]'' (+ ''Strikers 1945 Plus'') and ''[[Strikers 1999]]'' (''Strikers 1945 III'').<br><br /> It follows a post-World War II plot where a mysterious organization known as C.A.N.Y. tries to take over the world with new super-weapons, and the "Strikers" team blast off to destroy the new threat. Like many Psikyo titles, it is known for its high bullet speeds and aggressive bosses.<br /> <br /> ''Strikers 1945'' was ported to the Sega Saturn, PlayStation, Android platforms, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The game is also included in the Sega Astro City Mini V platform, released in 2022.<br /> <br /> == Gameplay Overview ==<br /> [[File:S1945_ShipSelect.png|thumb|right|250px|The ship select screen in ''Strikers 1945''.]] ''Strikers 1945'' contains '''eight''' stages of play, with the first four stages played in a random order. There is a '''second loop''' that can be played simply by completing the first eight stages, for a total of 16 stages. The actual stages in ''Strikers 1945'' are often quite brief, with some being shorter than 60 seconds, with the bosses often taking up more time than the stages themselves. A single loop takes about 15 to 20 minutes on average.<br><br /> <br /> Six ships are available to select, each one with its own shot type, option type, special weapon, and bomb attack.<br /> === Controls ===<br /> ----<br /> {| class="wikitable"<br /> |-<br /> ! scope="col" style="width: 80px;" | Button<br /> ! scope="col" style="width: 330px;" | Function<br /> |-<br /> | <center>'''A (Tap)'''</center> || <center>'''Shot'''</center><small>Fire the player's Shot weapon.</small><br /> |-<br /> | <center>'''A (Hold)'''</center> || <center>'''Super-Shot'''</center><small>Charge up the Super Shot.

Rank is adjusted immediately upon the power level of the player ship changing.<br><br /> Additionally, the first four stages have different difficulty depending on the order of stages, with the "hard" version of each stage being 1-3 and 1-4.<br /> <br /> Rank is lowered by death (causing your player ship to drop back down to level 1), or by colliding with an airborne enemy, which lowers the player's current power level by 1.<br /> <br /> === Loops ===<br /> ----<br /> ''Strikers 1945'' features a second loop with denser and faster bullet patterns. Additionally, enemies that are destroyed will release clusters of revenge bullets.<br><br /> There are no conditions to enter the second loop, and like the first loop, the second loop's first four stages are in a random order. Unlike the first loop, the game's rank is already at max, so the four stages do not vary in difficulty.<br /> <br /> At the end of the first loop, the player's performance in each stage is qualified under the following criteria: '''Time''', '''Gold''' and '''Shoot Down'''. The ratings can be a gold medal, a silver medal or nothing. Clearing the first loop in a single credit will reveal the pilot's face and name. Furthermore, achieving only gold medals across every stage will show a topless version instead, this easter egg was usually censored or removed in subsequent rereleases. Using a continue at any point during the first loop disqualifies these easter eggs and the name is shown as simply '''????'''.<br /> <br /> === Scoring ===<br /> ----<br /> The primary scoring trick in ''Strikers'' games involves collecting '''Gold Bars'''[[File:S1945_Item_Gold_2x.gif]] that are left behind by some ground enemies and destructible objects.<br><br /> Gold is worth '''200''', '''500''', '''1,000''' or '''2,000pts''' depending on what frame of animation it is on. In ''Strikers 1945'', one animation frame lasts for 7 frames each.<br><br /> For ideal score play, the player wants to collect the gold bars on the frame that they flash '''white''', as this will always reward the player with 2000pts.<br /> <br /> Aside from that, scoring revolves primarily around maximizing enemy destruction and item collection. Excess bombs and power-ups reward bonus points, but can be risky to hold onto due to the ferocity of enemy attacks and bullet speeds later on in the game.<br /> <br /> == Strategy ==<br /> <div style='text-align: center;'><br /> ''See [[Strikers 1945/Strategy]] for '''enemy and boss descriptions''', '''walkthroughs''', and '''advanced play strategies'''.'' </br><br /> ''See [[Strikers 1945/Stages]] for a detailed information on the stages in Strikers 1945.'' </br><br /> ''See [[Strikers 1945/Bosses]] for a detailed discussion on the boss fights in Strikers 1945.''<br /> </div><br /> ----<br /> <br /> === The Gunbird Train ===<br /> <br /> [[File:Train1.jpg|200px|left|thumb|'''1.''' Don't destroy the tanks marked with red dots.]] [[File:Train2.jpg|200px|right|thumb|'''2.''' Hover over one of these trees, depending on the stage number you are on.]]<br /> In the Germany stage, it is possible to make a train appear that was previously seen in one of the random stages of ''[[Gunbird]]''. It's very lucrative for scoring, as each of its three parts is worth 8,000 pts. Moreover, since the train parts hold two power up items each, it can also be useful to boost your power level to max early on. If the items are picked up when already at max power, this makes an additional 24,000 pts.<br /> <br /> In order to trigger the train, the player has to avoid destroying a couple of tanks and trucks during the opening part of the stage. These vehicles are not firing at the player and are marked with red dots in the image on the left. Notice that you can still carefully take out the two tanks that are firing at you, as the upper one also holds a gold bar.<br /> <br /> In the next step, the player has to hover over a specific tree when the stage music makes a jingle noise. Depending on whether the Germany stage is played as stage 1, 2, 3 or 4 the player has to hover over a different tree. The trees are marked accordingly on the image to the right.<br /> <br /> While being exceedingly more difficult, it's likewise possible to trigger the train in the second loop under the same conditions.<br /> <br><br><br /> <br /> <br /> === Stage 7 Boss Manipulation ===<br /> <br /> The mid-boss and boss of the seventh stage is determined by the horizontal player position immediately leading up to the encounter. Aligning the ship with a certain position between two digits on the player 1 score counter can be used to trigger a respective boss. Please refer to the images below.<br /> <br /> {| class="wikitable"<br /> |-<br /> ! Alien and Trenchcoat Man !! Dogū !! Witch<br /> |-<br /> | [[File:Strikers_1945_Alien.png | 300px]] || [[File:Strikers_1945_Doguu.png | 300px]] || [[File:Strikers_1945_Witch.png | 300px]]<br /> |}<br /> <br /> The alien mid-boss gives the most points out of the 3 mid-bosses (6000pts, then 10000pts for defeating the trenchcoat guy). Dogū is recommended for survival as the lower right corner of the screen is a safe spot for its first wave of bullets.<br /> <br /> {| class="wikitable"<br /> |-<br /> ! Tanegashima !! Macha !!

In a survival context is it recommended to face Tanegashima as its second phase has a very consistent timeout strategy.<br /> <br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == Story ==<br /> At the end of World War II, world peace seemingly returned to mankind, until an organization known as C.A.N.Y. rose to take over the world with a new breed of superweapons of mass destruction. A team of ace pilots known as the "STRIKERS" were formed in order to destroy this new foe and stop their plan for world conquest.<br /> <br /> =====Ending=====<br /> Later on, it is revealed that the organization was created by aliens who specialize in brainwashing human brains, intending to invade planet Earth. The leader of the organization, also called CANY, is destroyed by the Strikers, alongside the alien base.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Development History ==<br /> TBD<br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Version Differences ==<br /> '''World Version (vs. Japan Version)'''<br /> * The easter egg revealing the identities of the Strikers pilots does not occur.<br /> * The Japanese text on the high score table does not appear.<br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * In the I/O test menu in service mode, there appears to be remnants of a possible 4 player mode, as evidenced by the 3P and 4P controls being "disconnected". It is unknown if it was confirmed or simply a leftover from another Psikyo game. <br /> * The P-38 Lightning and J7W Shinden make a cameo in [[Space Bomber]] as hidden bonus items. The ships can be captured for 100,000 points by shooting certain background graphics at specific times.<br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Gallery ==<br /> <div style='text-align: center;'><br /> ''See [[Strikers 1945/Gallery]] for our collection of images and scans for the game.''<br /> </div><br /> ----<br /> <br /> == References & Contributors ==<br /> <small><br /> # Page text, info, and formatting by [[User:CHA-STG|CHA-STG]]<br /> # Additional info provided by [[User:Plasmo|Plasmo]]<br /> # Special thanks to '''STG Rev. 2020 Discord''' for fact-checking.<br /> <references/><br /> </small><br /> <br /> [[Category:Psikyo]]<br /> [[Category:Bomb mechanic]]<br /> [[Category:Vertical orientation]]<br /> [[Category:Medal mechanic]]</div>
