Story
A millennia ago, a mysterious force known as Gordess perished in a long battle.

Two space ships - the Blue-Nova and the Red-Nova - are sent to fight the Borign forces and destroy Gordess.Brief information
The gameplay of Final Star Force goes back to the formula of the original Star Force, but with updated graphics and some extra power-ups. Other things that have been changed from the original are the style of the title screen's logo, the background, and some enemies. Players control the two space fighter ships Blue Nova and Red Nova. There are three different power-ups to choose from called "Pulsators". Each name of a Pulsator has a letter at the beginning of it (e.g. A-Pulsator, B-Pulsator, C-Pulsator).
