[Longplay] Arcade - Gradius II - Gofer no Yabou (4K, 60FPS)

Played by xRavenXP (me)

This is the longplay of the game Gradius II - Gofer No Yabou (known in Japan as GOFERの野望/ Gradius II: Gofer's Ambition, and in Europe as Vulcan Venture), a horizontal shooting game in the Gradius series, the continuation of Gradius I that was released in 1988 in Japan and Europe. Gradius II was also the only game in the series in which no version was released in North America, until the arrival of the Gradius Collection in 2006. Once again, the Vic Viper spacecraft will take action.

The gameplay of this game is very similar to the previous one: the player has 4 options that are orange balls that follow their movements and the same power bar, but in this game you can choose between 4 different types of weapon configuration (common shots , laser and missiles) right at the beginning of the game and you can also choose two types of protections: Shield (which are 2 frontal shields) and Force Field (an aura that protects the ship).
This game is also different from the first one, as it has several different and giant bosses (unlike the first game, where there was only one boss that was repeated in all stages).
