A mysterious alien race called the Bydo have begun a war with mankind and after losing waves after waves of enemy fighters in Bydo territory, Earth has sent a lone commander leading a small armada into the heart of the Bydo Empire to end the war.

After each mission, upgrades, weapons and ships are able to be purchased and used in later missions. Players now choose which grid they want to attack and which ship and weapons they wish to use. At the end of each level players will engage in giant boss battles using all their ships and weapons at their disposal.
