Gameplay – agallet
is a vertical-scrolling shooter game, with its gameplay being similar to titles like Raiden (1990).[1] Its plot involves a terrorist organization which, in addition to destroying major cities worldwide, forces news stations to brainwash the world’s population with propaganda stories. The players, who are part of a rebelling organization, are sent out to stop them. agallet
Development and release
was developed by Gazelle, a company established by former Toaplan employees after the latter’s bankruptcy in 1994.[3][4] It was designed by Junya Inoue, who had worked on titles such as Batsugun (1993), and directed by Tatsuya Uemura.[3][4][5] It features the voice work of Lenne Hardt and Jeff Manning.[5] Inoue wanted Air Gallet to be different from his previous projects, with a more “loud” and boisterous presentation.[3] agallet
However, Gazelle’s severe financial difficulties and strict deadlines prevented him from being able to design it exactly how he wanted.[3] Inoue himself created most of the game’s backdrops, such as the Tokyo-themed area in the second level.[3] Development was hastily rushed to meet deadline, giving the team little time to finetune its difficulty balance and mechanics.[3] agallet
