Genre: Shoot-'em-Up

















Darius II (ダライアスII) is a side-scrolling space shoot 'em up developed by Taito. It is the sequel to the 1986 game Darius. Western Sega Mega Drive and Sega Master System releases were renamed Sagaia. Like the first game, the player controls a space ship shooting at various enemies that resemble fish in a non-linear level order.

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

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.
