Vasara 2

Vasara 2 was produced by Visco Games in 2001.

The sequel to the great vertical shooter Vasara.

Vasara 2 is a 2D arcade shoot-’em-up in bullet hell/danmaku style, and a sequel to Vasara. Like in the first game, the action takes place in alternate Japan (science fantasy + Sengoku period), and Oda Nobunaga is the main enemy. The player can select one from four characters: Takeda Nobukatsu, Momochi Sandayu, Seiryubo and Akechi Mitsuhide (there’s also one hidden character, Saika Magoichi).

Game’s danmaku style is simple – fly forward, shoot enemies, collect points and weapon’s upgrade, dodge myriad bullets and defeat giant bosses. Vasara 2 has one unique feature, direct contact with the enemy is not deadly – the player is only slightly repelled.
