Star Soldier (スターソルジャー, Sutā Sorujā) is a shoot 'em up video game developed and published by Hudson Soft for the Nintendo Entertainment System and the MSX.[2] The player pilots the starship "Caesar", travelling through space stations occupied by powerful supercomputers known as "Starbrains" who threaten the galactic empire. Star Soldier greatly resembles the earlier arcade game Star Force.[3]

Mobile versions were released on January 26, 2001, in Japan as Star Soldier Special+ in 2004, Star Soldier SP Arcade in 2005 and Star Soldier Fukkoku-Ban (スターソルジャー 復刻版, Sutāsorujā fukkoku-ban) in 2008;[4] they were also released for Palm OS in November 2001 in Japan and iOS on January 4, 2012, in United States.

Star Soldier has spawned numerous sequels, starting with Super Star Soldier on the PC Engine. It was ported to the Game Boy Advance in 2004 in Japan as part of the Famicom Mini series, and to the Wii's Virtual Console in the Japanese and North American regions in July 2007.[5][6] An enhanced remake of the game was released on PlayStation Portable only in Japan in 2005.

Star Soldier was re-released by Konami on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console on November 14, 2012, in Japan, August 15, 2013, in PAL Version and September 24 in North America, and the iOS Version, titled Star Soldier for GREE (スターソルジャー for GREE, Sutāsorujā for GREE) on June 20, 2013, in Japan.[7][8][9][6]
