| |
| − | '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (ダライアスII), also known as '''''Sagaia''''' outside Japan, is a side-scrolling space shoot 'em up developed by [[Taito]] as a direct sequel to the 1986 game ''[[Darius]]''. It was originally released in 1989.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The game was ported to several [[Sega]] systems, including the [[Sega Mega Drive]] and [[Sega Master System]]. A port to the [[Sega Saturn]] using the original name was released exclusively in Japan and Europe.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Story==
| |
| − | Proco and Tiat, seeing the planet Darius in ruin, create a new planet called Orga. Their descendents, Proco Jr. and Tiat Young, receive a mayday signal from another civilization born from Darius's ruins, prompting them to take the Silverhawk, a ship, back to save this other civilization from evil forces.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Gameplay==
| |
| − | Like the first game, the player controls a space ship shooting at various enemies that resemble fish in a non-linear level order.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | {{A}} and {{C}} shoot; holding them down rapidfires (though there is a break every few bullets). {{B}} drops bombs (you have unlimited bombs). Powerups are collected in the usual shoot em up fashion and there are powerups for both the gun and the bomb dropper.
| |
| − | A score bonus is awarded for defeating groups of enemies.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Versions==
| |
| − | Stages in the Mega Drive version differ quite a bit from the arcade version: backgrounds are different (e.g. arcade stage B takes place on a rocky planet surface and in a cave, while the Mega Drive version of stage B is mechanized), enemy placement and behavior has been changed and the bosses have also been modified. The Master System version features a reduced amount of stages.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Saturn version, conversely, simulates the arcade version's wide screen mode utilizing a zoom feature. However, due to running in a lower resolution mode, it can be very difficult to see enemies and bullets.
