Previously available in Japanese arcades, 2005 arcade shooter Under Defeat will be available on modern consoles and PC this fall.

Announced today, the title will be available in both physical and digital formats on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. Under Defeat will be available digitally on the Xbox and PC (via Steam) as well. Clear River Games will join forces with City Connection to bring this to modern consoles.

A synopsis for Under Defeat reads:

Originally released in Japanese arcades in 2005 via G.rev’s arcade release, Under Defeat has the player assume control of a weapon laden helicopter as they manoeuvre across a semi-isometric playfield taking on a non-stop barrage of enemy airborne and ground-based combat vehicles. Renowned for its impressive 3D graphics and high intensity gameplay, Under Defeat now arrives on modern console platforms with no less than three game modes designed to suit the gamers’ preference and supervised by G.rev.

Arcade Mode faithfully replicates the original arcade experience, presenting the game in a 4:3 ratio and a pseudo vertical screen, for the purest possible representation of the game. New Order Mode adapts the game for modern displays, transforming the adrenaline packed shooting action to widescreen 16:9 ratio, and New Order 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. All modes have access to a choice of four unique helicopters to pilot into battle, each with different attributes and weapon systems. In addition, this new release also features newly added practice features for each mode, along with a choice of all 3 existing soundtracks, and a new Boosted soundtrack by video game music veteran, Shinji Hosoe (Ridge Racer series, Tekken series, etc) and his company, Super Sweep.
