Lead

Looking at other high quality video game articles (Doom 2016, Five Nights at Freddy's (video game), Rain World, Frostpunk), I believe you can unlink "video game" in the first sentence. Tarlby ^{(t) (c)} 17:53, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Blast Wind was created by new members New members of what?
You should explain the significance of the "new members" working on Thunder Force V. As someone who never heard of Thunder Force V, this takes away from the subject without adding much context.
...with critics praising the frenetic pace, soundtrack, and controls, but others being mixed regarding...--->...with critics praising the frenetic pace, soundtrack, and controls, while others were mixed regarding...
The final sentence differs from the last by not using an Oxford comma.

Gameplay

Blast Wind is a vertical-scrolling... Change "vertical-" to "vertically-". Looking at other articles, you should probably link "vertically-scrolling" again.
I would link "nuclear holocaust" and "nuclear winter".

Development and release

t was developed by new members who would... Same thing.
Taisuke Kanasaki only participated... Who? What was his contribution again? Also, their surname is pronounced with an S here while the infobox gives a Z.
...found it difficult to arrange and rewrite the songs because FM and PCM sound sources were the basis. I don't know why these would make it difficult to score.

Reception

Unlink Sega Saturn.
Remove the "into" in the second sentence. ...that week, and it received a score...---->...that week and received a score...
Wait for more...
