Silpheed is a series of 3D rendered science fiction games by GameArts, mostly consisting of vertical scrolling shoot em ups on PC-88, PC, Sega CD and PlayStation 2, but also including two space sims for Xbox 360 and Android devices. Most games retell the same basic story, about mankind's first encounter with an unknown and aggressive alien species, destroying human colonies and forcing human space forces to the retreat, or wiping them out altogether. The player often takes control of one of a small group of remaining fighters, trying to halt the enemy advance against overwhelming odds.
