The game takes place in an alternate reality during World War II , where players control German-speaking characters (dubbed "the Empire") fighting against English-speaking characters ("the Union"). Their vehicles are patterned after those of real-life Allied and Axis powers. A port for the Dreamcast was released in 2006 and marketed as the last game for the system, although two more were released the following year. The game was commercially successful, but received average reviews from critics because of its traditional and derivative gameplay. A high-definition remaster, Under Defeat HD , was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2012, published by Rising Star Games . The updated version contains improved visuals, new control scheme options, and a new gameplay mode to adapt the game for 16:9 displays. This version was re-released in arcades as Under Defeat HD+ . Another enhanced version by City Connection was released for Nintendo Switch , PlayStation 4 , PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2024 in Japan, with Windows port and western release in 2025. Gameplay The player firing at enemy battleships In Under Defeat , the player assumes control of a helicopter. The gameplay bears resemblance to early Toaplan games such as Twin Cobra . It uses 3D graphics, and a slightly angled perspective to give the game more depth than most other titles in the genre. The player's helicopter can move in eight directions, though its move speed is fixed in relation to the stage's scroll speed. The player has 3 basic forms of attack: the machine gun, bombs, and options. The primary weapon is the machine gun, which can fire a continuous stream of bullets. Bombs unleash a screen-devastating blast, destroying most enemies instantly, and protects the player's ship from enemy fire. The player begins each life with three bombs and can accumulate up to six. Finally, the helicopter has three possible weapon assists, or "options", which provide extra firepower. The weapon options are a machine gun, cannon, and rocket grenade. Using the right one at any given time determines how tough certain battles and stages will be.
