Our take on Space Elite Force II
The three modes divide play into a campaign, weapon-choice survival runs, and a sequence of boss fights, giving the shooter distinct ways to approach its score-chasing action.
What is Space Elite Force II?
Space Elite Force II is a side-scrolling space shooter for 1–2 players.
Pilot a ship through stages filled with enemy patterns and waves, upgrade weapons, and battle bosses. Play the main campaign in Normal Mode, where the objective is to recover data stolen by the Klyvu race. Arcade Mode is built around short score-attack runs: choose weapons at the start and survive as long as possible. Boss Rush Mode takes players through the bosses in sequence, with scores recorded on leaderboards for each mode. The game can be played solo or in local co-op for two players; at least one controller is required. Its visuals use handcrafted pixel art inspired by classic arcade shooters.
