Space Knight Tekkaman Blade

Axe

Space Knight Tekkaman Blade is a space shooter/fighter based on the classic cartoon of the early 90s (1992-1994).

In United Century 192, humans are on the brink of extinction …

The Orbital Ring System, a gigantic space station built by humans for deep-space exploration, has been taken over by the mysterious life forms, “Radam.”

Mankind’s connection to space has been cut off, trapping them on Earth at the mercy of Radam attacks from the Orbital Ring System.

The Earth is scorched, cities have been destroyed, and humanity is falling into ruin.

An amnesic young man, brought in by the Space Knights and dubbed “D-BOY,” is Earth’s last hope.

With his crystal, he’s able to turn into Tekkaman Blade, the only human capable of fighting the Radam aliens.

He is humanity’s last hope.

To the moon, Alice!

The game alternates between shmup-like shooter stages and boss fights that wish they were a bad Street Fighter clone. They game also has a two player mode where each player can pick any character from the cast to fight with. If you finish the game on Hard mode, it lets you have a code to play as two hidden characters.

byuu and I put a lot of work into improving this game over the original Japanese release, but if you want to know more about that, you should read the readme.

I’m really glad to finally see the game finished after all these years, and right in time for the 10th anniversary of when the show stopped airing.
