This is the longplay of the game Gradius IV, released in February 1999, initially for Arcades and then in the compilation Gradius III and IV, released for Playstation 2.

After the battles in Gradius II and Gradius III, Gofer (villain of the second game) was defeated by Vic Viper, the Gradian spaceship and the game's protagonist. After Gofer was defeated, one of the pieces of this monster wandered through space, until it fell to Earth, which caused this piece to mutate, causing the villain to be reborn again, with plans to enslave humans and dominate the Universe. Therefore, the Earth sends a warning message to its ally, the planet Gradius, the Gradians receive the message and go to help the humans, the two races are united again in the fight against Gofer and his army of Bacterians resurrected again.

Gradius IV represented a great graphic evolution in relation to its predecessors, instead of sprites in 16 bits, it now has graphics that simulate 3D and that already showed the graphic trends of the time, just before the arrival of the Playstation 2.

The subtitle of Gradius IV, Fukkatsu, means "resurrection". Without a doubt it is one of the most difficult games in the Gradius series.

The game has an extremely insane difficulty. The video was made on Normal difficulty.
I choose the Playstation 2 version because I was unable to make the Arcade version work.
Hope you like it.
