Eco Fighters[a] is a 1994 side-scrolling shooter video game developed and published by Capcom for arcades.[2][3] As suggested by both its titles, the game has an "eco-friendly" theme.

Gameplay

The game is a horizontal shooter, where the player controls a ship with a rotating weapon. This rotating weapon ensures that the ship does not require complex navigation to destroy enemy objects in inconvenient spots, while still needing to avoid enemy projectiles; this makes the game resemble more of a bullet hell game than most side-scrolling shooters from Capcom.

Development and release

Eco Fighters was developed by the same team from two Mega Man arcade titles, The Power Battle and The Power Fighters.

Capcom re-released Eco Fighters for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox in 2006 as part of the Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 2 and Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded for the PSP. The game was also playable on the GameTap online service.
