I'll concede that I had (still have, actually!) considerable problems getting to grips with it.
Thus marks the start of our tale.Since we already have an exhaustive thread for the Darius games and I just got a first kuso clear of Gradius V, thus completing the "canonical" saga (as well as several ports) I felt the urge to create a thread for this venerable series.įor I played V the last few days I must confess that I'm somewhat surprised that a lot of people around here consider it to be more accessible than most of its brethren. In a fit of irony, the trusty vintage airplanes that they had retained in evading the war were the only weapons that eluded the effects of the Gozarean's weapon-nullifying technology, marking them truly as the world's final wings of hope.Īlthough they had continuously refused the nations' pleas for help, they slowly witnessed the invasion's effects on their family and friends, leading to their finally deciding to sally out and defend those dear to them.
They were Hugh and Figaro two pilots who had retired to the south after the war started. Such was the dialogue between the pair of pilots who evaded the war eight years earlier. “It doesn't matter if we understand one another or not. “Why kill them just because their values are different from our own?” On a small island slightly south of the continent. However, due to the peace accords and the rash acts of their one militarized country, there were no powerful weapons remaining in the world. In light of this verified alien threat, the world quickly unified and devised a plan of counteroffensive. Any attempts to establish communications with the Gozarean resulted in failure. The Gozarean's counterattack would go on to bring about massive casualties to the country's largest cities. They struck the sudden invaders with everything they had, but to no avail. Only one country had the means of fighting back against the Gozarean-a country who had retained their weaponry in breach of the post-war peace accords. Six years after the war's closure, invaders we call the "Gozarean" suddenly started attacking the planet, summoned by the signal that had been continually transmitted into outer space by the glowing stone that Professor Howard had long since forsaken. Two years after the war had begun, it had come to an end. But the world did not wait for Howard and his invention. Howard plunged himself into his research to try and analyze the stone's power, to create a device that could nullify any and all weapons and transmissions, which he hoped to use to resolve the war peacefully. There, by pure chance, he found a glowing stone. Howard went on a journey, spurred on by his lamentations on the world's struggles. However, this all changed when a terrible murder occurred in a small town, which cascaded into a great war that engulfed the entire world.Īt the height of the war, the renown scientist Dr. The various nations of this world avoided meddling with one another, which allowed their people to live in relative peace and harmony. It is a world close to home in many ways. Various species live here, their lives governed by their own respective values and religions. STORYThis is the tale of a world different from that of our own.
