It is a sequel to the 1985 arcade game Tiger-Heli. Controlling the titular attack helicopter, the players must fight endless waves of military vehicles while avoiding collision with their projectiles and other obstacles. It was the fourth shoot 'em up game from Toaplan, and their tenth video game overall. It was ported to multiple platforms, with each done by different third-party developers that made several changes or additions.

A helicopter themed shoot 'em up action game from a birds eye view. Developed by Toaplan, it is the successor to their first STG Tiger-Heli, and features similar gameplay.
