The follow-up to the launch title Iridion 3-D features dramatic improvements.
After a century of peace, suddenly the Iridion menace has reappeared. You must take control of a star fighter and destroy the aliens once again.
Each of the five planetary systems has three planets, for a total of 15 levels. While Iridion 3-D offered a behind-the-ship view, Iridion II elevates your view to more of a three-quarter perspective.
The colorful and detailed backgrounds have a 3-D feel.
You can choose one of several types of blasters, such as a laser or homing missiles. Only one may be used during a mission, but you can find upgrades to increase your firepower along the way.
The controls are simple. The A Button fires your blasters and the L and R Buttons launch your limited supply of bombs. Double-tapping and holding the A Button will charge up your blaster, giving you an extra-powerful blast.
The music and sound effects are excellent. On an ice world, the music is very soft and crystalline, while a techno mix propels the action above the mechanical planet.
Expect many unlockable bonuses, too.
