Truxton II

Truxton II is a vertically scrolling shoot ’em up set during Tatsujin Oh, a battle in a remote region of the infinite universe fought around the same time as the grand battle known as Tatsujin. You pilot a HyperFighter through waves of enemies and tough bosses, dodging heavy bullet fire and trying to advance through the battle. The game is harder than its predecessor, with an easy mode and modern assist features available for players who want them.

Weapons and co-op

You can play alone or team up with another player, with two HyperFighters taking on the enemy together. Your weapons include a blue search laser that automatically tracks enemies, a powerful red napalm bomb and a green normal shot that spreads across a wider area when powered up.

Music and practice

The soundtrack features songs composed by Masahiro Yuge. A customizable practice mode lets you work on your skills.

Modes and assists

Very Easy Mode lowers the difficulty. Assist options include auto-fire at multiple rates, and online leaderboards track Single Credit, No Assist and Assisted plays.

Replay and display options

Quick Save uses F1–F10, with Shift+F1–F10 to reload a save. You can rewind 10–18 minutes of gameplay, depending on the action, and capture replays to share. Display options include pixel-perfect or full-screen scaling in windowed or full-screen mode, as well as rotating gameplay in 90-degree increments.
