Truxton 2

There is a bug on setting HP = 3 Assert. When you respawn, your ship will have only 1 HP. Meaning 1 hit, you're dead! Fortunately, there is a rewind assert. So I can beat the game (Painfully). Twin Cobra has much more assert like Auto dodge or TAS.

The visual jump from Truxton 1 to 2 might be one of the most impressive upgrades I've ever seen pixel-wise! The art is just gorgeous, full of detail from enemies to backgrounds. Ironically, the themes and sound effects are much weaker than the first game, in my opinion. Stages have organic transitions just like its predecessor, but here they are huge... and hard as balls, much harder than Truxton 1! Actually, it's pretty much impossible. Thanfully, you have the rewind option in this port as well. Use it with no shame! Don't waste any life, keep your ship at full power and enjoy the view while dying and going back a few seconds like crazy! Not as good as the original, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, what a beautiful game! P.S: I'd suggest using the standard red shot. They spread sideways... you'll need them against the cheesy spawns points!

I appreciate that this game has an actual checkpoint system that resets your progress a certain amount when you die. The game is still ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard despite having unlimited continues. Great for people that want a challenging SHMUP but don't want to spend 40 hours going for the one coin clear. I'm also just happy to see quality arcade games coming to Steam. Never really got to go to arcades too much as a kid, and when I did I mostly just played ticket games (Mom if I win 4000 tickets I can get a free xbox!). It genuinely irritates the ♥♥♥♥ out of me how little official preservation there is for a lot of arcade games, so I'm glad this is here, and I'm glad it's high quality, and I'm glad the game itself is pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fun.

game is brilliant, aged so well. not a shmup expert, but be warned: death on later stages is a huuuge penalty :)

Truxton 2 is a great sequel to a good game. This game improves on the Orion almost every way. The game is hard, but there are several difficulty options (part of the original arcade and can be set by the arcade operator). The game is very accessible at the easiest level.

An old SEGA classic. Has a cool rewind mechanic perfect for learn the pace and patterns.
