What it boils down to is pretty obvious if you've seen even a single screenshot: shoot everything in sight until you reach the boss of the level, rinse and repeat. Of course, it's completely irrelevant, but it's almost a knowing joke to have included a paragraph's worth of story regardless. This is about as far as the narrative goes both in the official press and the game's help pages. In the far future, you're tasked with taking down a corrupted AI called "Evil Shira", who plans to build up an attack force to threaten the existence of the entire universe, apparently. Ghost Blade HD is a game that targets that nostalgia specifically, and does so pretty successfully. Nevertheless, there are still plenty of gamers who like the idea of a short, sharp blast of simple gameplay and a chance to get their name up in lights on the leaderboard. That was part of the fun, right? Now, the gaming world has moved on - in a good way, for the most part.
In the "bullet hell" sub-genre of scrolling shooters popular in the mid-nineties, you could only barely tell where the enemies were thanks to all of the kaleidoscopic projectiles and explosions, finding yourself out of lives and coins without really understanding what on earth just happened. The games were short and you could consider yourself lucky if the developers even made an attempt at a story.
Insert coin, get as far as you can and hope you end up with a decent high score that you can leave behind on the screen to make other players jealous.
