## Description
_Uch ū Senkan Yamato: Ankoku Seidan Teikoku no Gyakushū_ is the second part
of the “Dark Nebula series”, after _Uch ū Senkan Yamato: Iscandar e no
Tsuioku_. It follows the events of the first part of the fourth _Yamato_
movie, _Be Forever Yamato_.
After the battle of Iscandar, the Dark Nebula Empire strikes back and invades
Earth. They aim to force the earthlings into submission with the threat of a
planetary neutron bomb. The bomb’s trigger is located on the Empire’s home
planet, and so the Yamato takes off once again to find a way to prevent the
bomb from exploding. Meanwhile, Yuki Mori finds herself stranded on Earth, and
joins the Resistance against the invader. The game’s story is based on co-
creator Leiji Matsumoto’s original ideas, and is quite different from the
movie, with some characters meeting very different fates.
_Uch ū Senkan Yamato: Ankoku Seidan Teikoku no Gyakushū_ features real-time
space battles that are very similar to its predecessor, but also new third-
person phases, where the player takes direct control of a character and must
navigate 3D levels to accomplish specific objectives. Like previous games of
the series, the game features character-design by Keisuke Masunaga, based on
the original characters created by Leiji Matsumoto. The story is told both
with animated 2D movies and fully-voiced in-games cutscenes. The characters
are rendered in cel-shading.
