Original Air Date: May 12th, 2009
Can you believe a game this awesome was just collecting dust? For shame. I decided to put up a video for it. Thunder Force V was originally released on the Sega Saturn and later brought to the Playstation with a lot of added content and less slowdown, though it also has a drop in the graphics department from my understanding. Either way, it’s a neat and challenging shooter. Released in the U.S. by Working Designs (under the SPAZ label), you can bet the odds are against you!
In a grim future where a once-benevolent alien technology has turned against humanity, only a ragtag group of ace pilots can save the Earth from total annihilation. Armed to the teeth with amazing weapons and a multitude of strange enemies to blast who keep you guessing, you go through several levels fighting the good fight. The game also has several cutscenes to help move the story (yes, the game has one) along. Enjoy.

@alvieao2 I know, …
@alvieao2 I know, but I don’t expect TF fans to have me go to Japan to get the Saturn and get Thunder Force V for it, because that’s too much torture. I’d rather play Thunder Force VI, which is Japan only.

The last Thunder …
The last Thunder Force game by Technosoft before the company went under in 2001. Seven years passed and SEGA picked up the Thunder Force series in 2008 to create TF VI for PS2, originally in development for Dreamcast but later canceled.

The Saturn was …
The Saturn was simply a 2D powerhouse, that’s probably why. But yes, it is the same game regardless.

Again, I don’t know …
Again, I don’t know why Thunder Force puriests prefer the Saturn version of Thunder Force V, the Saturn and Playstation versions are pretty much the same…
