RayForce (a.k.a. Layer Section) Download (1997 Arcade action Game)

Layer Section, a port of the arcade game Rayforce, gives gamers seven levels of top-scrolling shooting action. Players control an aircraft similar in appearance to Raiden and use it's powerful lasers to destroy waves and waves of enemies. Multiplayer options allow two people to combine forces.

RayForce (released as Layer Section outside Asia) is an excellent vertical shooter that began an series that would spawn RayStorm and RayCrisis. The game is a 2D shooter with excellent scaling and animation effects, including the nice camera-panning action as you move your ship to left and right.

This PC version is a faithful conversion of the arcade blockbuster, with all the fun and graphical pizzazz intact. Your ship's main laser gun has 6 levels of power, and can 'lock on' up to 8 targets at a time. The more lock-ons you manage to do before blasting enemies, the more points you will earn. There are 7 levels of blasting mayhem, both in space and inside the Earth's atmosphere. SHMUP veterans may find this game a bit easier than average, thanks to generous bonuses and power-up ships that appear from time to time to repair your ship. All in all, though, RayForce looks good and plays great - a wonderful start to a fun series that get much tougher later on.
