Sylphia

Sylphia is a 1993 vertically scrolling shooter video game developed by Compile and published in Japan by Tonkin House for the PC Engine Super CD-ROM². Unlike many shooting games of the era which take place in a science fiction setting, this game mixes heroic fantasy and ancient Greek mythology. The game follows Silphia, a maiden warrior reincarnated as a demigoddess under Zeus after her death in battle, who faces the forces of Hades, who has been possessed and manipulated by creatures once imprisoned in Tartaros. Its gameplay is similar to previous Compile shooters, with the player fighting enemies and bosses while avoiding their projectiles and other obstacles.
