PC Engine Longplay [009] Rayxanber II

[@stevefitz2522]

I remember seeing preview stills of this in vg&ce back in the day and being amazed, watching this video shows it's even better than I imagined.

Una de las mejores bandas sonoras de PC Engine...

[@MVA74]

Another masterwork

[@nitussi]

Hard game, but music is top notch. I remember puting in work to get past the last level, and the game locked up and i didnt see the ending.

[@musiclover3928]

Classic PC Engine/Turbo Duo game. Excellent graphics, fun game play, and an outstanding soundtrack. Hopefully it will be ported to the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console.

[@Southpoint2019]

Did it even turn up on the virtual console

[@agreedboarart3188]

Here I am holding out for a Switch port... 😢

[@4Obfuscate]

Stage 4 isn't impossible but can be cheap. This guy clearly used magic engine and save states. You need to speed burst quite a bit and learn when and where the worms come it. Keep playing the highlights are the 5 and 6 stages!

[@annikatollefson]

No I’m gonna really quickly

[@artorias-24]

I beat this game about three times now so that should tell you guys that it's far from impossible. True, stage 4 is tough, but if you do what 4Obfuscate said, you should be fine. Also, stage 5 is easier than stage 4. Stage 6 is the ultimate test for it requires absolute concentration and fast thinking. Quite an awesome game!

Picked this game up today...

[@aaron.0303]

19:08 The final level is interesting. No sound effects. Just an endlessly scrolling quiet chaos with beautiful music playing.

[@ДокторЯдо]

Stage 5 has some surprisingly tranquil music

[@EmulatorWizard]

thanks, for uploading i love watching longplays and let's plays

[@agreedboarart3188]

Apparently a representative for the company said they weren't considering porting this series to modern consoles since there's little demand. ☹️ But I wanties.

[@metalwolfzx]

will you ever longplay this mech series i love called armored core.

[@TheAxelay]

Such a wonderful game that few will ever know off let alone play and is tough as batsh!t sigh...

[@craiganderson7085]

Looks like a fun game with great music. Pity about the terrible sound effcts, explosions etc...

[@hastypixels]

T-0815 would be the first to admit that. ^^ I've seem 'em do it.

[@vansajexora]

Stage 4 is impossible

[@SurelyYewJest]

I think this series was heavily influenced by R-type. The last 2-3 levels make that clear, as does the ending. My reaction, though, is that this is R-type (or any of its sequels) with less polish and technical skill in the play and presentation. R-type games are typically a visual tour de force throughout. Gradius, for all its tossed-salad recycling of levels, mid-boss, and boss fights in each sequel, feels grander in scale. I only got a few flashes of equivalent brilliance in this or the first game. The music is the best aspect of this sequel, but the sound effects are not up to the level of its contemporaries.

[@darrendavenport3094]

LMAO! This is nothing like R Type!... If you knew anything about shooters you would see that this is more like the Thunder Force series... R Type is a slow plodding snore fest and over shadowed by many great shooters from the 16 Bit era

[@ManuelpoDeSardinia]

Giger anyone? xD

[@NARFNra]

Anybody else notice this shmups has really predictable bosses?

[@grahamjarman]

yes the bosses arent that hard

[@ssdivizion]

This is bullet paradise game-no bullets at all,haha It's very predictable and easy game,sorry

[@danmakuman]

Just try it and you'll see you don't need bullets to die here

[@TheAxelay]

Easy?! This game is from 1992 here, there wasn't a bullet hell genre back then. This is a tough as hell but visual tour de force if you're good enough to survive it. The shoot em up genre doesn't always revolve around the bullet hell here.
