Story
The plot of the game is told in screensavers in the manga style. In 2025, a war begins between humans and the mysterious alien race. The Federation Fleet Admiral, Ken, was teleported by the aliens along with his ship from the battlefield. His 16-year-old daughter, Lucia, with the help of her friend Thame, kidnaps the prototype CSH-01-XA Gleylancer fighter and sets off in search of his father.
The non-existent word "Gley" in the name of the fighter is probably a pronunciation mistake, and the correct name is "Gray Lancer" (gray spear rider). A mistake could have been made due to the lack of differences in the Japanese language between the sounds “er” and “el”.
Gameplay
At the beginning of the game, the player must choose one of seven modes of behavior of the satellites that accompany the player’s ship and are additional weapons. The main weapon can be changed by taking prizes that appear after the destruction of special capsules.
The game has 11 levels. At the end of each level, with the exception of the tenth, there is a boss .
