DJay 95 Plays: Batsugun (Arcade) Longplay
2Hey players, DJay here with a new shmup longplay on one of the first few arcade shmups under the bullet hell category, Batsugun.
Description of the game:
Batsugun is a vertical scrolling maniac shooter released in arcades by Toaplan in December 1993 on the Toaplan Type 2 system board and it would be Toaplan's final arcade shooter at the time before the company would go out of business due to bankruptcy and the staff leaving to work for other companies including Eighting-Raizing, CAVE, Gazelle, Takumi Corporation, etc.The game would then be ported on the Sega Saturn in 1996.
On a distant planet similar to Earth, a global takeover plan codenamed the Epsilon Plan, led by King Renoselva A. Gladebaran VII, was set into motion. The Imperial Army had successfully staged coup d'etats upon countries of the planet within 2 weeks. And so it remains up to 6 pilots of the Skull Hornets squadron, led by prince Olisis, the son of King Renoselva, to stop him, using their submersible jets.
The gameplay of this game is similar to that of Aero Fighters. Players choose between 6 characters, each of them piloting 3 different types of ships with unique shot types and make it through 5 challenging stages. In each stage, they must destroy the enemy ships, both aerial and ground targets. Specific enemies will yield a power-up and a bomb. As the players destroy the enemies, the guage at the bottom of the screen will fill up, each varying in different amount of points. When it fills completely, the player's weapons will be upgraded. Using the bomb will not only destroy enemies, but also emanates enemy fire, giving temporary invincibility upon activation. Getting hit by enemy fire or touching any aerial enemies results in destroying the ship, losing a life.
Will you be able to stop King Renoselva before he carries out his plan?
