Gaiares

Gaiares was released at a time when the shoot ‘em up genre was immensely popular in the gaming industry; competition was fierce with franchised games like Thunder Force II, R-Type and Gradius, so the developers had to distinguish the game with a unique weapon system. The name is supposedly a combination of Gaia and a shortened abbreviation of the word “rescue”, which is the main objective of the battle taking place within the storyline.
