Dragon Saber: After Story of Dragon Spirit

Dragon Saber: After Story of Dragon Spirit is a vertical-scrolling shooter developed by Namco and released for the PC Engine in 1991. It is a sequel to the 1987 arcade game Dragon Spirit, continuing the story of the dragon warrior. You pilot a dragon, flying through a series of levels, shooting enemies and dodging obstacles, with a focus on fast-paced action, reflexes, and strategic use of power-ups.

The gameplay involves moving your dragon across the screen, shooting enemies with a standard gun, and collecting power-ups to upgrade your weapons, including spread shots, lasers, and missiles. You can also collect "bombs" that clear the screen of enemies. The PC Engine version features colorful, detailed graphics and smooth scrolling that bring the fantasy world to life.

A unique feature is the game's "dragon" theme, with your character transforming into a more powerful dragon form when you collect certain power-ups. The game also features a "story" mode that continues the narrative from the first game, adding a sense of progression and depth to the action.

Dragon Saber is a solid vertical shooter on the PC Engine, offering a challenging and action-packed experience for fans of the genre. Its fantasy theme and engaging gameplay make it a standout title in the platform's shooter library.
