Arcade Longplay #81: Dangun Feveron
32Dangun Feveron (弾銃フィーバロン Dangan Fībaron, lit. "Bullet Gun Feveron"), also known by its overseas title Fever SOS, is a vertical scrolling shooter game developed by Cave and published by Nihon System Inc. in 1998. The gameplay is typical of manic shooters, with numerous swarms of enemies onscreen at any given time, and bosses that shoot intimidatingly large clusters of bullets. Unique to this title, the score of the game is disco music, which is a particularly unusual choice for a shoot 'em up. In April 2016, Cave announced that M2 is porting and publishing Dangun Feveron for the first time to a home console, the PlayStation 4, as part of their M2 Shot Triggers publishing label. An international release of the M2 Shot Triggers version is currently planned.
Dangun Feveron offers a wide degree of customization in gameplay. Player is prompted to select how fast they want the ship to move, choose one of three rapid-fire weapons, and one of three sustained-fire weapons. This allows the player to tailor the ship to individual needs, be it a fast-flying speeder with a widespread shot to quickly handle enemy squadrons, or a ship with lower speed to dodge bullets carefully, and concentrated firepower to destroy single foes faster.
