Gunstorm II

Gunstorm II is an arena space-shooter in which you pilot the Gunstorm, the last fighter craft of the old league, to rescue your sister Semele. Kernag the Smeeb has kidnapped her on the eve of her wedding to prince Caligulus.

Worlds and modes

The plot-based action takes you across five worlds, from the caves of Marrowmar to the Deadly Asteroid Field of Rodix Draconium. You can unlock arcade sub-games, including the classic game from Gunstorm, now with Gunstorm II weapons. Options let you set the difficulty and choose between fixed or random games for continued play. You can resume the main campaign at any time, and Steam achievements track your progress in each game-world.

Weapons and combat

You can carry all eight of the game's weapons at once: Cannon, Laser, Trident, Protonites, Ion Rifle, Flamer, Nova Rockets and the Phoenix. The classic Spider Bombs are also available. Combat gives you more ammunition the more you shoot, and the action starts slowly before increasing in difficulty to match your skills.

Controls and soundtrack

You can play using a mouse in either classic or follow-the-cursor mode, an X-Box style game controller or a keyboard. The soundtrack is sung by Tor James Faulkner.
