Andro Dunos (Intro)
2Bout presents: Andro Dunos (Intro)
Andro Dunos is a scrolling arcade shooter video game developed by Visco Corporation and originally published by SNK on June 15, 1992. It is the first title to be created by Visco for both the Neo Geo MVS (arcade) and Neo Geo AES (home) platforms, as well as their only officially licensed release for the AES during its commercial life span.
Taking place on a futuristic sci-fi setting where an unknown alien race from outer space has steadily increased their invasion activities, players take control of the Yellow Cherry and Red Fox space fighter crafts in a last-ditch effort for mankind to overthrow the alien forces. Although it was initially launched for the Neo Geo MVS, Andro Dunos was later released for the Neo Geo AES on July 17 of the same year.
Andro Dunos was met with mixed reception from both critics and reviewers alike since its initial release on the MVS and later on the AES, who commended various aspects of the title such as the colorful and detailed graphics, sound design, simplistic controls and the ability to choose between multiple weapons, but the gameplay was criticized for being unremarkable and not original.
On March 25, 2022, a sequel developed by Picornne Soft and published by Just for Games and PixelHeart titled Andro Dunos II released for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4, with versions for the Dreamcast and Xbox One being planned for release later in the same year.
Andro Dunos is a scrolling shoot 'em up game reminiscent of Hellfire and Whip Rush where players take control of the Neo Type space fighter crafts Yellow Cherry (P1) and Red Fox (P2), which are felt by the defense system of Earth across eight levels that take place on a futuristic sci-fi setting, where an unknown alien race from outer space who has steadily increased their invasion activities against humankind that must be eliminated in order to finish a long lasting war as the main objective.
In addition to the single-player mode, the game also features a two-player cooperative multiplayer mode–if a memory card is present, the players are allowed to save their progress and resume into the last stage the game saved at.
A notable feature of the game is the ability to choose between four different weapon sets at any given time in a linear order by pressing the B button and they can be increased up to multiple times from their original state, while charging the currently selected weapon with the A button allows the ships to unleash a powerful shot against enemies. However, this strategy is a risky proposition for players, as the weapons lower their power level down to one, weakening the ship's current firepower as a result. If the player's ship is hit by enemy fire, they will be respawned but with the penalty of decreasing the ship's power to one level before being hit. Once all lives are lost, the game is over unless players insert more credits into the arcade machine to continue playing, which resets the main weapon down to level two and the other three sub-weapons down to the first level as well.
