Master of Weapon Overview
Master of Weapon is a vertically scrolling shooter set in a world transformed by a seven day nuclear conflict. This event, known as the 7-Day War, has triggered severe environmental collapse and caused mutations across all life. A fighter ship designated "N", created as part of a mysterious initiative called Project Yukiwo, is deployed in an attempt to salvage humanity's future.
The player pilots this craft against a variety of mutated biological foes, both airborne and ground-based. Offensive capabilities include a standard air attack and the ability to fire downward at terrestrial targets. A special weapon system is present, which can be altered via collected powerups but requires a recharge period after use. The game spans nine acts and offers three selectable difficulty levels.
Available upgrades are limited, as only a few item pods throughout the stages provide powerups. This scarcity of enhancements contributes to a generally challenging experience. The origins and full purpose of Project Yukiwo remain an enigma within the game's narrative.
