Strike Witches: Aoi no Dengekisen — Shin Taichou Funtousuru! - Nintendo DS

Strike Witches: Aoi no Dengekisen — Shin Taichou Funtousuru! for the Nintendo DS is an official tie-in simulation game based on the beloved Strike Witches anime franchise created by Fumikane Shimada. Set in an alternate version of Earth in the 1940s where humanity is locked in a desperate war against a mysterious alien race known as the Neuroi, the story centers on Takei Junko, a young candidate commanding officer from the Fuso Empire who is assigned to train alongside the legendary 501st Joint Fighter Wing — the internationally assembled squad of magically powered girls known as the Strike Witches. As Junko works to earn her place among iconic characters including Yoshika Miyafuji, Mio Sakamoto, and the rest of the wing, the military simultaneously launches a major new offensive: a concerted strike against the Neuroi along the Gallian coastline to establish a critical new frontline base.

Gameplay is divided into three distinct sections that work together across the DS's dual screens. The simulation phase puts players in command of Strike Witch units on the battlefield using a semi real-time tactical system designed around the touch screen, directing each witch's movement and attacks against incoming Neuroi threats. The unit formation phase lets players customize squad composition and equip weapons between missions, tailoring the team's capabilities to each upcoming operation. The adventure phase brings the characters to life through visual novel-style interactions and story scenes that deepen the relationships between Junko and the members of the 501st, capturing the warmth and charm of the anime's character dynamics.
