Uchuu Senkan Yamato: Kanketsu-hen

Remaster of the 1985 Laserdisc arcade game Uchuu Senkan Yamato. Apart of the Taito LD Game Collection.

Uchuu Senkan Yamato is a Strategy game, developed by Tom Create and published by Bandai Visual, which was released in Japan in 2001.

Uchuu Senkan Yamato is based on the anime series Space Battleship Yamato, also known as Star Blazers. The events of the game follow those of the initial episodes. This incarnation of the series is essentially a real-time strategy game with a somewhat unusual approach to the genre. Rather than navigating units on battlefields, the player takes direct control of every crew member onboard the ship. Each one of them is responsible for a certain function (supplying power, manning a gun, turning the ship, etc.); in order to win battles, it is crucial to coordinate their actions. The game proceeds in real time, but pauses when the player accesses crew members and performs actions for them.
