Gradius V

The Gradius army has a victory against an evil galactic threat, but some cells survive. From there, they assemble and form a new army. A special fighter called Vic Viper is developed to solve this threat. Possessing an arcade play style, players navigate the ship through scrolling screens. Therefore, enemies that emerge will be destroyed to help progress. Gamers gradually are led to bosses for more rewards. The ship starts with limited firepower, but the game supports many ways to upgrade. Power-up capsules are core items that you should collect to gain an advantage against galactic enemies. They possess various effects for your ship, such as speed boosts, missiles, and force fields. Overall, the game allows customization of controls, difficulty, and starting lives.
