About This Game
Expands the original's formula with a refined scoring system where chaining enemy destroys multiplies points. Introduces aircraft-specific 'Super Shots' that consume bomb stock but deal massive damage.
Notable for its 'True Last Boss' - an ultra-difficult final challenge that only appears under specific conditions, testing even veteran players' skills to the limit.
Represents the peak of Psikyo's signature bullet-hell style, with intricate enemy attack patterns and screen-filling explosions that push arcade hardware to its limits.
