Gradius II retains the Power Meter bar from Gradius, but now the player can choose between four different weapon configurations and progressions. All schemes have Speed-Up and Multiples (Options), but have differing 'Missile', 'Double', and 'Laser' weapons. Missile: Changed slightly from Gradius.Īdditionally, there are also two types of shielding to choose from: 'Shield' and 'Force Field'.You no longer need to wait for all missiles to disappear before you can re-fire. However, the power has been reduced (or the enemies have become stronger). Spread Bomb: Similar to the Napalm weapon of Nemesis 2.It does not, however, coast along the terrain. Instead, it detonates on impact, causing a large explosion that deals damage (this is why it is considered to be the best missile weapon in the game). It is very powerful, and the ballistic dropping arc is useful for hitting enemies however, even the bosses can be defeated easily with these bombs. Photon Torpedo: Much like the missile, but drops straight out of the ship/Option, making it a bit more unwieldy.
In return for this, the missile will pass through all targets until it touches something indestructible. 2-Way Missile: Similar to the weapon of Salamander in that a pair of missiles are launched above and below.Up to two pairs may be fired at once, making the weapon useful for wiping out lines of enemies above and below, however, they no longer coast along the terrain, and simply disappear on impact.
