The great magician Sagyr has won over his nemesis, the wicked witch Xandrilia, and regained the human shape of his former self. But Xandrilia's curse sends him 3,000 years in the future. There he finds out that the witch's posterity, known as the Xandrilians, plan to rule the universe with an army of monsters and machines. Determined to stop the forces of darkness, Sagyr pilots a small combat spacecraft on a desperate mission to destroy the planet where the Xandrilians live.

The graphics are less fantasy-oriented than its predecessor, in favour of a combination between high technology and plantlife. Your spaceship no longer morphs but the basic weapon system is still there, only expanded. Eight different weapon systems are now available, each of which can be upgraded multiple times. Other powerups are extra speed, smart bombs and autofire. The skull-shaped "power-down" also rear their ugly heads again.

Here the list of the features of this game :

Two player simultaneous game
35 different weapons
Smooth scrolling
Tons of sprites (+100 at the same time)
Dual-Format (same disk runs on Amiga and ST)
Full PAL-resolution on Amiga and ST
Full usage of build in memory to preshift graphics
Savable and printable hiscores
7 Voice Digital music (intro and end-sequence)
Digital sound effects
Digitized speech

And the enhanced features for the Atari STE :

Interrupts to gain more colors
Sync-scrolling or STE-scrolling depending on machine
Blitter support
Stereo Sound on STE

Due to the difficulty of this game, I used somes cheatcodes (lives & weapon max) to finish it ;-)
Music from Jochen Hippel (Mad Max).
