About this game

Bakutotsu Kijuutei is a Namco action shooter and sequel to Baraduke, released in 1987. The first player controls Takky, while the second player controls Hommy.

Unlike its predecessor, the characters always face right and cannot shoot or move backward. Shields are replaced by the Machine Gun Vessel, and the game introduces several new enemies and four capsule types:

  • Yellow: Contains Paccets.
  • Green: Provides speed power-ups.
  • Blue: Provides shot power-ups.
  • Red: Contains Baganns, Pac-Man-like creatures that attack the player.

Collected Paccets circle the player and contribute to the score at the end of a stage. The game features 36 stages across six blocks and is listed for Arcade, Final Burn Alpha Neo, and Wii.
