Arcade Archives: Life Force is a 2015 shooter released for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, developed by Konami as part of the Arcade Archives series. The game preserves the classic scrolling shooter in which players battle against the Bacterian special force known as Salamander. The release includes two versions of the game: Salamander, the original Japanese arcade release, and Life Force, the rearranged Japanese version that appeared in 1987. Offering both regional variants in a single package gives players access to the differences between the two iterations, making it a thorough preservation of this chapter in Konami's arcade history. The core gameplay centers on piloting a spacecraft through waves of enemies drawn from the Bacterian forces across both horizontal and vertical scrolling stages.
