Description
Legendary Wings is an arcade shooter influenced by Greek mythology. A
heroic figure from ancient times thrust into a strange futuristic
world, you must fight your way through six levels to defeat "The Devil"
and save the day.
The primary gameplay mode is a top-down,
vertical-scrolling shooter similar to Xevious and Capcom's own 1943.
Your main weapon is used to attack flying enemies, and your secondary
missile weapon is used to attack fixed placement, land-based enemies.
Numerous powerups are available along the way, and these both improve
your weapons and your resistance to damage (every "upgrade" is worth a
free hit from enemies without dying).
Several secondary gameplay
modes (Danger, Lucky, and Palace) are also triggered at key points in
the vertical-scrolling mode. All of the secondary modes are
side-scrolling shooters. The Danger stage requires you to face a
gauntlet of enemies, while the Lucky stage is full of powerups, game
continues, and other bonuses. The Palace stage is triggered when you
defeat a mini-boss; you must get past the palace defenses before you
can face the end-of-stage boss. And, oh yeah...don't get crushed by
those walls!
