Vasara 2 (set 1)

Vasara 2 is a high-octane vertical scrolling shooter (shmup) where players pilot futuristic vehicles and combat hordes of enemies. The game is renowned for its intense action and unique gameplay mechanics.

Players can choose from several characters, each possessing distinct weapon types and stats. The core gameplay revolves around dodging intricate bullet patterns while unleashing a barrage of your own. Beyond the standard shot, Vasara 2 introduces the unique 'Vasara' attack. This is a powerful close-range melee strike that requires players to get up close and personal with enemies to deal significant damage. When executing a Vasara attack, players become temporarily invulnerable and can collect items dropped by defeated foes. Mastering the timing and effective use of the Vasara attack is crucial for high scores and surviving the challenging stages.

The game also features various power-ups to enhance your firepower, movement speed, and defensive capabilities. Bombs serve as a vital survival tool, clearing the screen of bullets or dealing massive damage to bosses. The scoring system in Vasara 2 encourages risky play, particularly by chaining Vasara attacks to create combos and collect bonus points. The classic pixel art graphics combined with dynamic sound effects deliver an authentic and thrilling arcade experience.
