Vasara - Arcade Complete Playthrough #108【Longplays Land】
Vasara is a Shoot 'Em Up developed and published by Visco for the Arcade platform. Vasara was never released outside of Japanese arcades.
Vasara is set in the year 1600 A.D. The current ruler of Japan, Hideyoshi Hashiba has died and Ieyasu Tokugawa is planning on taking over. The three main heroes are tying to make sure that Tokugawa does not assume control as they battle their way through a series of warlords sent by Tokugawa to stop them.
Vasara uses a two-button system for attacking. The first, and primary attack involves rapidly pressing the first button which will fire the normal bullets. Each character also has a melee attack that can be used by holding the button down. The melee attack will not only damage an enemy, but will also deflect any bullets in the way.
The second button is used to deploy a bomb which will clear the screen of small enemies and do damage to the larger ones.
The third method of attack uses a meter called the "Vasara" meter. Once the Vasara meter is full it can be used by holding down the primary attack button for a small amount of time and them released. The Vasara attack is a larger version of the melee attack which does large amounts of damage. The Vasara meter can be replenished by collecting various items dropped by the enemies such as red jewels.
