TC Strikers 2

TC Strikers 2 is a shooting game with a story about abnormal climate. After a travel agency representative asks Techno to investigate, Techno and Joshua find unusual climate readings at a place where precise measurements cannot be taken. They travel there, where locals fear a mountain said to be inhabited by the spirit of a woman who died during an ancient plague.

Controls and attacks

You use shots, bombs, PowerShot and a laser. A bomb costs 275 power, and movement slows while the laser is active. You can skip conversations by holding the shot and bomb controls.

Locks and continues

Being hit in the normal state puts your aircraft into a locked state. While locked, you cannot use bombs, your attack level is fixed, and another hit ends the run; a timer beneath the aircraft shows how long remains until you unlock. The lock lasts 20 seconds per lock count, though the final remaining aircraft always takes 20 seconds. A mistake resets the lock count, and touching a P item reduces the remaining time.

Technical shoots

The final phase of most bosses is a Technical Shoot. Being hit during one carries no penalty, and its bonus is calculated as the remaining time multiplied by a reference point. Clearing a Technical Shoot without mistakes earns a jewel. If you have 7 jewels at the end of Stage 5, you enter the EXTRA LAST STAGE.

Combos and scoring

Each enemy has a set base score. Defeating an enemy while a combo is active adds its base points to bonus points, which are then added to your score. You can continue a combo by defeating an enemy, hitting it with the laser or touching a P item; collecting a P item does not increase the combo count. Full combos are possible in every stage. The game also has a score extension system, with a maximum of 3 extensions.
