Description official description

Mobile Light Force 2 is a budget-priced port of AlfaSystem's vertical-scrolling shoot-'em-up Shikigami no Shiro. It features five levels with three stages each. Extending the replay value is a two-player mode and the ability to select from six characters (three male and three female to be exact). Aside from the standard rapid-fire stream of bullets standard to the genre, a spirit attack unique to each character is available, which significantly slows the ship's movement, but rewards the player with a substantial point increase. Coupled with the spirit attack is the Tension Bonus system, which rewards you with increased power and bonus points based on how close you are to enemies and their bullets.

Trivia

PS2 version differences

The PS2 version of Shikigami no Shiro received quite a bit of changes on its trip overseas, not only was it renamed as the sequel to Mobile Light Force (which in turn, was a localization of Gunbird) but all plot-related elements got taken out and the in-game voices re-dubbed. Gameplay remains intact, although the screen rotation option has been removed.
