Score numbers in Giga Wing 2 climb into ranges that look like typos, and that excess is the point. Takumi developed this vertical shoot-'em-up for Capcom on the NAOMI arcade board in 2000, and the Dreamcast version followed shortly after. Like its predecessor, it fills the screen with bullets and then hands the player a way to throw them back.
The Reflect Force shield turns incoming fire around for a moment, and reflected bullets and destroyed enemies leave behind medals that drive up a score multiplier. The shield needs time to recharge, so play alternates between careful dodging and spectacular counterattacks. Giga Wing 2 adds a Reflect Laser and bigger bomb attacks, and it supports cooperative play with multiple pilots, each with a different ship and story ending. The Dreamcast release also includes extras such as a gallery. Fans of bullet-hell shooters often mention it alongside Mars Matrix, Takumi's other NAOMI shooter.
Tips for Giga Wing 2
Save the reflect shield for moments when the screen is thick with bullets, as it needs to recharge.
Collect medals quickly to keep the multiplier growing; they disappear if left alone.
Use bombs to escape boss patterns that cannot be dodged rather than losing a life.
