Descpription:
The player controls a ship called the R-9C (or R-9 Custom),
which is an improved version of the prequel's ship; the R-9. The ship's
design was changed slightly, and the wave cannon was given homing capabilities.
Two new types of weapons (the Search Lazer and Shotgun Lazer) were
added, bringing the total number of weapon types up to five. A new
anti-ground unit bomb was also added to the missile inventory.
Though the number of levels was decreased from the prequel, the
number of enemies, their durability, and the number of bullets they shoot
were greatly increased. Enemy movements and terrain were also
made trickier, bringing the game's difficulty up considerably.
The same revival system is used as in the prequel, where the player
is brought back to a checkpoint whenever their ship is destroyed.
