Strikers 1945 is a series of arcade vertical Shoot 'Em Up games by the now-defunct developer Psikyo.The series is (in)famous for its blend of World War II and Transforming Mecha. As far as gameplay is concerned, Strikers 1945 is made from the same mold as most of Psikyo's other shmups, featuring random order for the early levels, dense and fast bullet patterns, and rather short levels contrasted with long sequential bosses.Do not confuse with fellow shmup series 1942, although both thematically based on World War II, and Strikers 1945 is generally Denser and Wackier. | |

| Strikers 1945 (Video Game) / int_108c268e | comment |
Hotter and Sexier: Inverted. The first game features Fanservice if you play well as all but one of the pilots are attractive girls with three different pictures acquired as you beat the first loop (covered, face reveal and character info, and raunchy) depending on how you achieve the game. The second game has its ending told in WWII esque stock photos, and the third game only shows the boss and the location where each stages are fought. | |

Death from Above | |
| Strikers 1945 (Video Game) / int_1c398324 | comment |
Death from Above: Several Smart Bombs, most notably the P-51's one in Strikers 1945 —several B-29 Superfortress carpet-bombing the screen and the AV-8 Harrier's one in Strikers 1945 III —same but with B-52 Stratofortress instead. The Mosquito in Strikers 1945 II and Spitfire in Strikers 1945 Plus do this with Mosquito fighter bombers, followed by a Mosquito firing formation. The XP-55 Ascender's Smart Bomb in Strikers 1945 Plus, meanwhile, summons the B-36 to carpet bomb the screen from the center of the Y axis. | |

| Strikers 1945 (Video Game) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: The forces of CANY use weaponry that are far beyond the era of World War II, with a special focus on Transforming Mecha. The B-36 did not enter service until 1949, four years after the war had ended. | |

| Strikers 1945 (Video Game) / int_5ed3ace2 | comment |
Batman Can Breathe in Space: In the first game, your World War II plane is launched into space without any ill effects despite the low atmospheric pressure. The modern-day jet fighters of 1999/III later repeat the exploit. The second game (and by extension, PLUS) has your World War II plane dive deep underground into the center of a volcano, again without any ill effects despite the immense atmospheric pressure. | |

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: The planes in II have color-coded shots depending on their nationality. Lightning and Flying Pancake (USA): Blue Ta-152 and Mosquito (Europe): Green Hayate and Shinden (Japan): Purple Planes in "Plus" have color-coded shots depending on their alignment. Lighting, Flying Pancake, Spitfire and Ascender (Allied): Yellow Focke Wulf, Zero Fighter and Fiat G.56 (Axis): Red/Orange The modern-day jets in III have color-coded shots depending on their movement speed. F/A-18 (Medium): Blue F-117 and AV-8 (Slow): Purple F-22 and F-4 (Fast): Green The X-36 is an exception as it shoots blue despite being the fastest. | |

Stupid Jetpack Hitler: The FGR from II is all but stated to be a Nazi remnant group, given that it wants to create a Fourth Reich using reverse-engineered CANY tech from I, culminating in incubating a giant alien embryo inside a volcano. It even manages to survive into 1999/III, developing the X-36 Warlord. | |

Bullet Hell | |
| Strikers 1945 (Video Game) / int_8aeccf04 | comment |
Bullet Hell: Especially PLUS, which use bright pink and blue bullets, not unlike Cave games. In the mobile ports of Strikers 1945 II and 1999, there are "Pro" and "Master" options that take this to a new extreme. The Strikers 1945 Classic series has "Hard" and "Very Hard" options that makes the ports look more arcade-perfect in terms of gameplay (fast bullet patterns, more bullets fired from enemies, two loops), but players can thankfully continue playing even during the second loop when it's not possible in the original arcade version. | |

Bomb Whistle: Multiple instances in all games, all involving bombs. In the first game, when the P-51 summons B-29's to carpet bomb the screen. In the second game, when the P-38 fires its max level charged shot. In the third game, when the F/A-18 drops a ballistic missile to the dead center of the screen and when the Harrier summons B-52's to carpet bomb the screen. Also happens when the X-36 is about to drop its energy bomb. Averted in PLUS where the bombs don't make whistling sounds whatsoever whenever they are dropped on the screen. | |
