1942: Joint Strike takes inspiration from and influence from the 194X series of Capcom vertical shooters. The art, sound and gameplay give the player hints of the 194X series, but will stand out as its own unique entry.
The game takes place during a seemingly WWII-like era. Locales, vehicles and weapons have the look and feel of WWII with some stylistic differences. The world in which 1942: Joint Strike takes place is not our own and the events that transpire are not historically accurate nor are they intended to be. This is a world alternate to ours where history and technology developed along its own path.
