Production on the fifth installment in the Thunder Force series began on the Mega Drive. According to former Technosoft staff member Naosuke Arai, the team wanted to make the game more exciting with pseudo-3D graphics, but were unhappy with its cheap look compared to Thunder Force IV. Only the first stage was playable before the project was moved to the Sega Saturn and PlayStation.[282][283]
