{{nihongo|'''''Victory Road'''''|怒号層圏|Dogō Sōken (Bellowing Atmosphere)}}, is the sequel to [[Ikari Warriors]]. The objective is to defeat the enemy aliens using grenades and other weapons. ==Arcade version== {{Infobox VG| title = Dogosoken<br>Victory Road<br> |collapsible=yes |image = Victory Road.png |caption=English arcade poster |developer = [[SNK]] (arcade)<br> [[Paradise Software]] (Sinclair)<br> |publisher = Arcade version:<br> [[SNK]]<br> Sinclair version:<br> [[Imagine Software Ltd]]<br> [[Erbe Software S.A.]], [[IBSA]]<br> |license= |series=[[Ikari Warriors]] |engine= |version= |released=[[1986 in video gaming|1986]] (Arcade)<br> [[1989 in video gaming|1989]] (ZX Spectrum)<br> [[1990 in video gaming|1990]] (Amiga) |genre=[[Shoot 'em up#Run and gun|Run and gun]] |modes=Up to two players simultaneously |ratings= |platforms=[[Amiga]], [[Arcade game|Arcade]], [[Commodore 64]], [[NES]], [[Amstrad CPC]], [[ZX Spectrum]], [[IBM PC]] |media=[[Floppy disk]], [[audio cassette]], [[Cartridge (electronics)|cartridge]] |requirements= |input= |designer= |writer= |artist= |composer=[[Toshikazu Tanaka]] |cabinet=[[Joystick]] (LS-30, 12-way rotary), 2 buttons |arcade system= |cpu=2x [[Zilog Z80]]A @4MHz |sound=Z80 @4MHz (APU), YM3526 @4MHz, Y8950 @4MHz |display=[[Raster graphics|Raster]], Vertical orientation, standard resolution (216 x 288), 1024 colors |latest release version= |latest release date= |latest preview version= |latest date= }} The original arcade game featured an 8-way joystick that could be twisted in place to rotate the onscreen character allowing the player to face in one of eight directions while moving in another. It features sampled voiceovers from the main characters and the game's bosses. ===English version=== The voices are changed to speak English dialogue. For example, upon starting the game the player would be greeted by a giant floating head who would exclaim, "Warriors! Show some guts! You can't escape me! Come get me if you can! Ha ha ha ha haa!" At this point the floating head would fly off screen and the gameplay commenced. Also, when the player loses a life, upon coming one would hear "Come on, let's fight!". ==NES version== {{Infobox VG |title=DOGOSOKEN (Ikari II DOGOSOKEN)<br> Ikari Warriors II: Victory Road<br> |collapsible=yes |state= |show image= |image= |caption= |aspect ratio= |resolution= |developer=[[SNK]] |publisher=[[K Amusement Leasing]]<br>[[SNK]]<br> |distributor= |license= |series=[[Ikari Warriors]] |engine= |version= |released={{vgrelease|JP=16 April 1988}}{{vgrelease|NA=1988}} |genre=vertical shooter |modes=Up to two players simultaneously |ratings= |platforms=[[NES]] |media= |requirements= |input= |designer= |writer= |artist= |composer=[[Toshikazu Tanaka]] |cabinet= |arcade system= |cpu= |sound= |display= |latest release version= |latest release date= |latest preview version= |latest date= }} [[Image:Ikari Warriors II for NES shop screenshot.png|thumb|left|Screenshot of the NES version.]] The NES version includes the added feature of collecting "zeny" as currency. This money was then spent at a store also unique to the NES port where the player could buy improved weaponry and armor. The NES version emulates the controls of the arcade version by locking the facing of the character in one direction for as long as the "fire" button was depressed. ==Game play== Weapons no longer have limited ammunition. Player begins with a flamethrower, but when player loses a life, it is changed to machine gun. Weapon powerups are scattered throughout the levels often hidden under rocks destroyable by the bazooka weapon or grenades. There are no vehicles in this game, but it was replaced by armour, which allows player to take limited number of hits without time expiration. ===Guns=== *Flamethrower: Player's beginning weapon. It can destroy walls *Machine gun: Player's weapon after losing a life *Red machine gun: Similar to machine gun, but the bullet has longer range, and shoots through enemies *Boomerang: Weapon shoots through enemies, and flies back to player. *Sword: When spinning a sword, player can hit back enemy bullets. When pressing fire button, player fires shot using the last available machine gun type. The sword blade damages enemies upon contact. ===Grenade=== *Black: Smaller explosion. *Red: When it detonates, a 8-way blast appears. ===Stages=== The game continued its single-stage design from its prequel, but added mini-stages where player fights a boss when entered through the green door. ==External links== *[http://www.arcade-history.com/?n=dogosoken&page=detail&id=657 Arcade history page] *[http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0005561 ''Victory Road''] at [[World of Spectrum]] *[http://www.geocities.jp/famikonhitoritabi/ikari2/ikari2.html Ikari II Dogosoken walkthrough] [[Category:1986 video games]] [[Category:1989 video games]] [[Category:1990 video games]] [[Category:Amiga games]] [[Category:Arcade games]] [[Category:Nintendo Entertainment System games]] [[Category:SNK games]] [[Category:Run and gun games]] [[Category:ZX Spectrum games]] [[Category:Amstrad CPC games]] [[Category:Commodore 64 games]] [[ja:怒号層圏]]
