Arrow Flash

Review
Also known as
アローフラッシュ 애로우 후래쉬

Control a transforming ship to battle an alien dragon, switching forms to use unique weapons and defensive abilities.

Arrow Flash was released for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive in 1990, which is also the original release year as it was not ported from another platform.

About Arrow Flash

Arrow Flash is a side scrolling shooter set in space. The player assumes the role of a female pilot whose mission is to defend Earth from an extraterrestrial dragon.

Progression involves navigating through levels, confronting standard enemies before a final confrontation with a larger boss. A central mechanic is the ability to transform between a standard spaceship and a flying robot form. Each form possesses distinct primary weapons and a unique special ability, both referred to as Arrow Flash.

The spaceship's weaponry focuses on high damage output with lasers, while the robot can deploy a protective shield. This shield both blocks incoming fire and destroys enemies on contact. The special Arrow Flash attacks can be activated either by collecting power up icons or by charging them manually.
