Lead

 * "and avoiding collision with them and their projectiles" - and avoiding collisions
 * "and was cancelled after Technosoft" - maybe and the game was or production was for clarity
 * "The game was intended to be the first under the "Project STG"" - clarify if possible what Project STG is
 * "and for being most consisting of "recycled" stages " - for mostly

Gameplay

 * "by destroying incoming enemies and avoiding collision with them and their projectiles." - the text in bold can be changed to say avoiding a collision or avoiding collisions
 * "both of which had different weapon loadouts and playstyles." - should the word in bold be changed to have?
 * "through the game and completing specific objectives.[2][1]" - refs in numerical order please

Development

 * "Aside from an early test video showing an early intro sequence" - introduction
 * "it was indefinitely shelved during early production stages" - during the early stages of production
 * "gathering several designers from Taito and Konami to assist in production.[8][7]" - refs should be placed in numerical order please

 * "under the "Project STG"," - please state briefly what "Project STG" is
 * "Twenty-One quietly updated their official website announcing their intentions to revive the series with Sega, and announced the game's release." - am certain this sentence can be reworded to remove repetition of the word "announced/ing"

Reception

 * "Fans of the series were particularly negative towards the game for failing to live up to prior Thunder Force games and for greatly lacking in both innovation and originality." - repetition of the word "game" in the same sentence
 * "but disliked the textures themselves for being ugly" - try using another word other than ugly
 * "MeriStation liked the game's weapon variety," - better; the variety of weapons within the game
 * "Nintendo Life was critical of the game's short length and lack of unique ideas, disliking that the game simply reused ideas from other games" - same issue as the first in this section
 * "specifically criticizing the game simply lifting entire stage ideas" - for simply
