In 2192, a new city, Selene, is built on the moon. Over the years, Selene grows larger, more powerful, and more independent of the Earth - to the point that the moon and Earth battle in a war that winds down without a definite victory for either side. In 2242, war breaks out again - the Earth slowly begins to win... except for the efforts of an experimental Selene technology known as Einhänders: flying machines with a "hand" that allows them to change weaponry mid-battle.

On December 12, 2245, Selene sends down 3 Einhänders in a last attempt to turn the tide of the war. You get to choose the craft to pilot, and it's up to you to battle your way through the Earth's monstrous defenses and win the battle.

Einhander is basically a traditional 2D shooter set in a 3D polygonal world. Featuring LOTS of stuff to blow up with a multitude of weapons, such as riot guns, grenade launchers and cannons, a wide selection of massive levels, beautiful graphics and an exciting apocalyptic techno soundtrack, this game is a shooter fan's dream!

# Pilot Fully Loaded Tactical Fighters
# Modify speed and agility on the fly
# Single, double, and triple gunpod designs
# Extendible claw for stealing enemy weapons
# Armed for gatling guns, homing missiles, cannons, and more
