SONIC WINGS REUNION

 
SONIC WINGS REUNION brings back the cult arcade series with fresh swagger and smart upgrades. You get the old-school vertical rush, plus modern comforts and a stack of modes that respect your time.
What’s the pitch?
Cities burn. The shadow group Fata Morgana is back with terrifying superweapons. Project Blue takes to the skies, and you pick the ace for the job. It’s tight hitboxes, screen-filling patterns, and that one-more-run itch. Miss that feeling?
How it plays
This is a vertical shoot ’em up built for repeat plays and score chasers. You learn patterns, route powerups, and cash in bombs with intent. Short stages keep flow high. Bosses push you to commit: greedy medal lines, or safe clears?
Character choice matters. Each pilot brings a unique aircraft and shot type. Sub-weapons define your rhythm, from wide clears to boss melters. Training Mode lets you drill problem spots. Tate Mode lets you rotate for true arcade framing. It’s the series DNA, trimmed and tuned.
Why it stands out
Reunion isn’t just nostalgia. It’s a carefully curated update with flexible difficulty, a customizable soundtrack, and couch co-op. You can even switch the title screen between Sonic Wings Reunion and Aero Fighters Reunion. Small touch, big grin.
