About Thundercade

Thundercade is a mission to stop a terrorist organization from using a nuclear power plant for global threats. The operation involves a combat motorcycle that can be enhanced with additional sidecar cannons to increase its offensive capabilities.

Gameplay progresses through four environments, concluding at a fortress housing the primary target. The player's vehicle fires bullets and can summon a bomber for airstrikes on a limited basis to assist in eliminating ground forces.
