Soukyugurentai: Oubushutsugeki
released on Sep 01, 1996
Sōkyū Gurentai (蒼穹紅蓮隊 lit. "Blue Sky Crimson Lotus Squad"?) is a vertically scrolling shooter game released by Raizing in 1996. The game is unusual in that, rather than using a 3:4 aspect ratio to better suit the vertically-oriented gameplay, it uses a horizontal monitor (4:3) in the style of Neo Geo vertical shooters as well as the later Radiant Silvergun and Giga Wing. There is an English version of the game titled Terra Diver, but it was never officially released. Hitoshi Sakimoto confirmed that a re-release of the soundtrack should be released by the end of 2010 under the Basiscape label.

Wonderful atmosphere on par with the best shoot'em ups has to offer! Not to mention excellent original soundtrack worth buying.
If youre confused by there being 3 versions of terra diver listed on this site, This one is the watered down psx port that looks worse, has unnecessary slowdowns but has an some extra cutscenes that look awful and also a 4th character. just play the Saturn version or mame lol.
Still no idea what the third version called Soukyuu guren-tai is about lol. a duplicate maybe?? or its trying to distinguish between the arcade and saturn release but what the hell no other game on backloggd and its port has that. mods plz fix

QA Testers: "So we're gonna make the penultimate boss be the hardest enemy in the game, give him enough health to be longer than the entire previous level, 5 phases, and random laser patterns, added with a small sub boss in the end that has low HP but invisible attacks?"
