Operation Thunder v1.1
Rescue. Destroy. Survive.
Operation Thunder is a retro-inspired top-down arcade shooter developed by Host2play using Unity.
Take control of an Allied attack aircraft and battle your way through enemy-controlled waters. Rescue stranded pilots, destroy enemy warships, assault heavily defended island bases, and fight your way to an epic showdown against a powerful enemy flagship.
Inspired by classic arcade shooters of the 1980s and 1990s, Operation Thunder combines fast-paced action, rescue missions, challenging boss battles, and satisfying arcade gameplay.
