Gradius: The Interstellar Assault — About this game
Gradius: The Interstellar Assault sends Vic Viper through a connected horizontal shooting campaign against Bacterion’s forces. Collect capsules to move along the power-up bar, then decide when to activate speed, missiles, guns or protection. Weapon selection before the sortie lets you shape the loadout, but surviving the terrain still depends on leaving room to dodge.
