Gameplay
Gameplay
The player controls the titular sun goddess and intergalactic warrior Amaterasu, who wields a magical sword and shield to defeat enemies with energy beams, in order to capture prisoners who escaped from a distant planet. Amaterasu can shoot in all directions in a manner similar to Capcom's Commando. She starts off with a less powerful energy beam and can be easily killed in one hit, but a motorcycle grants her improved mobility and an extra hit point. The weapon and motorcycle can be upgraded with power-ups to become respectively more powerful and turn into a spaceship with more hit points. A limited supply of bombs are available to defeat enemies more easily. Each level ends with a boss enemy's spaceship, which when defeated will reveal its driver, a prisoner, for Amaterasu to capture.
