Iridion II

Relative to Iridion 3D, Iridion II has more sophisticated designs. Some new functions are not easy to master. Player must spend a lot of time to familiarize the game. But it's really fun. All beautiful 3D maps include some static obstacles, different enemies, a mid-boss and a final boss. I managed to beat the game by using the save function every ten seconds. By the way, player can enter a special password to unlock the Jukebox option and enjoy all background music.

I played this game so much as a kid and fully forgot about it. playing this game for just 10 minutes had me experiencing more nostalgia than I ever have in my whole life. Such an amazing game to grab if u played it back in the day.

Very good game i love the style and music.

Iridion 2 is an interesting relic of the final days of SNES style mode 7. Its primary selling point at the time was the interesting 3d perspective, which, while it still holds up today is more of a curiosity than a graphical draw. The game itself is a vertical shooter that plays very similarly to cross code. Its not a terribly challenging game, but that might be a positive. The game consists of 15 scrolling stages with unique backgrounds and bosses. The color pallettes are great, the enemies and projectiles pop out very well. The levels are usually pretty engaging, but I would say near the end they get samey, especially since the projectile patterns and enemy AI don't change much and there aren't many stage gimmicks and set pieces. Theres a variety of different weapons to choose from, and a weird mechanic where you can shift where the secondary shields are positioned. I didn't really understand the point of that, I always kept them at the side. Do I recommend it as a game? probably. It's not a hard game or a ground breaking game, but its a unique game with good music and good sprite work. I think the price tag however might be a bit high considering it can be beaten in a few hours. But I enjoyed playing a relaxing and straight forward almost modern shmup.

I like this game, as this is a digital version of the GameBoy Advance title. The graphics, the music (oof, the music!), the gameplay, the bosses, the planets (really cool colors :D), everything in this game is awesome and I'm glad I have this title once more :'D

Game is not bad gameplay wise but figuring out controls is a pain in the a**. there are 15 levels that can be completed in about 2 hours. The levels are relatively short and not too hard, i quite enjoyed my time with it.

nice work.

GBAの国内未発売ソフトで、日本のシューティングの色んなところからパクってきた様なゲームだが、非常に作りが雑。 グラディウス的なパワーアップカプセルと、サンダーフォース的な武器チェンジを備え、まんまアクスレイのモーンングスターみたいな武器もある。 ゲームモードは最初、ストーリーしか選べず、そこのステージクリアに応じて解禁される。 パスワード式で、タイトル画面に戻ると初期状態になるので、戻り切らない内にESCキーを押してメニューを出し状態セーブをしておくのを勧める。 注意が必要なのは、チュートリアルは手動パワーアップなのに、デフォがオートパワーアップになっているので切るのをオススメする。 武器は各二段階までパワーアップ出来、その状態でもう一度パワーアップを押すとシールドが回復する。 正直、武器はホーミングと前方に強力なレーザーかクラスター、汎用性を考えてショットでもいいが、横に撃てる他の2つは汎用性は薄い。 ボムと溜撃ちもあるが、やり方はチュートリアルで教えてくれるが、GBAのボタンの少なさでクセのある捜査になっている。 雑だと書いた理由として、パワーアップで弾を防げる(レーザーなどは無理)オプションが付くのだが、画面左右に行くとオプションが自機前方に寄る為、安全地帯的な場所が簡単に見付かってしまうのだ。 また、敵の配置やアルゴリズムも日本産シューティングの様に緻密に計算されたとは言い難い局面が多い。 惜しい部分もあるが、この手のゲームのマニア以外にはオススメしにくいゲームと言えるのでサムズダウンにした。 大体、日本でこのゲームを知ってる人間やスクロールシューティング好きは評価に関わらず買うでしょ。 開発はドイツでメガデモとか作ってた連中らしく、音楽だけの提供もよくしている。 しかし、メガデモの多くと同じく、技術力の高さや音楽なんかは良くても、どうもゲームとしてはオリジナリティに欠ける雑なものが多く、現在もNS用の小規模ゲームを開発販売しているが、やはりどっかで見たものが多い印象。 日本だと1は「弾爵」の名前で出たナノストレイ/アサルトシリーズに比べると、本シリーズは割と微妙に思う。 あっちも割と雑な部分もあったし、難易度も中途半端だったところは似ている。

my favorite gba game maybe the best im very godlike at it

Directly porting Iridion II to Steam feels a little bit unjustified; I think that explicitly bundling it with Iridion 3D and maybe the Nanostray games would have made this release feel a little bit more reasonable. Still, I am happy that Iridion II isn't a game lost to time. Even though it has lost the gee-wiz factor of running on such primitive hardware, Iridion II is still a great shooting game with plenty of content.
