About U.N. Squadron

U.N. Squadron is a side scrolling shoot em up set in the conflict zone of Area 88. Players select from three distinct pilots, each with individual proficiencies in areas like handling weapons and recovering from damage.

Gameplay involves completing missions to earn currency, which is used to upgrade from a basic starting aircraft to more capable fighters. These purchased planes offer enhanced agility, durability, and access to more powerful special armaments.

The challenging missions require engaging numerous enemies across varied scenarios, including assaults on ground installations, submarines, and waves of hostile aircraft. Success depends on eliminating all moving targets in a fast paced environment.
