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!

Great Game by Scott Bauer 14 May 2008
This is a great game. I used to play this game years ago when NES first came out. I just found and purchased this game last year. It is still fun to play after all these years.

The plot of this game is very basic and simple. You play a winged hero on a mission to save Earth from demonic forces. You go through 5 different areas each one more challenging than the last.
At the end of each area, you have to fight a dragon that shoots out fireballs and then face the devil that shoots out eyeballs. One of the cool things about the game is the type of weapons you can use. The final weapon allows the character to change his appearance and become temporarily invicible until he is hit 3 times and returns to normal.

I also like the music throughout the game. My favorite is the music from areas 4 and 5.
