Gall Force is a vertical shooter based on a classic Japanese science fiction anime aired in the 80s. Gall Force Eternal Story tells the story of a crew of seven female space-warriors. In the future, the galaxy is at war and two races, the bug-mechanical-looking Paranoids and all women Solenoids, have been fighting each other for hundreds of years. The player first takes the role of Rabby, the central protagonist of the series, and pilots the Star Leaf, a fast and powerful spaceship. Her mission is to find her six other colleagues, each one of them kept against their will in a different part of the galaxy. The game offers an interesting structure where Rabby always starts from the same stage and from the same planet. There, she has to quickly maneuver her ship and damage enemy facilities and ships. She soon reaches the end of the area and flies by five different launching pads. Each one of these leads to a particular space level where one of her friend is kept prisoner. Once the guardian is encountered and destroyed, her friend joins the team and upgrades this way the Star Leaf. Each new colleague adds a fighting-mode (such as Side guns or laser beams) to the ship which can be activated at any time during the game.
