Summary
A police officer named Tony and his sister are forced to go inside an unidentified flying object by a group of aliens who are planning to invade the galaxy.[3][4] They are later exiled to a distant planet after refusing to engage in espionage for their side.[3][4]
Tony finds himself stranded on a strange planet where nothing is familiar (and without his sister).[3][4] However, a mech that has a vast knowledge of telepathic skills saves him and empowers Tony with the ability to take on the aliens' army.[3][4] This machine becomes an important ally in the battle to save Tony's sister and stop the extraterrestrial invasion before it's too late.[3][4] The game forces players to fight strange aliens across the galaxy.[3] Various power-ups can be collected to add to the mech's abilities. However, the mech is lost after a single hit.[3] The game includes some surreal enemies like a domestic dog and some musical notes.[5]
In the Japanese version of this game, however, it's Tony's sister you control after you lose the mech,[6] and by extension it's she who has to save Tony.
