In Gradius V, each ship type has a unique way of controlling multiples. Multiples are invulnerable orange orbs that trail the player, shooting whenever the player shoots to exponentially increase firepower. Gradius V introduced all new control types for "option drones", now called "multiples". Multiple Formation Types Type 2 allows for control over the direction of fire from multiples. This greatly alleviates much of the difficulty of the game.
Revival Start allows players to resume play immediately from the point where they crashed, rather than from a fixed checkpoint. The tiny black cockpit window of the Vic Viper is the only part that will take damage from projectiles, and knowledge of this fact is crucial to surviving some of the game's levels, which feature flying through very narrow passageways and navigating through asteroid swarms, a nearly impossible task had the entire ship been vulnerable. The size of the hitbox has been more conformed to the ship's shape than in previous Gradius games. Completing a playthrough of the game activates a "loop," recycling the eight levels, but steadily increasing the difficulty with each pass up to 255 times, also known as the "high loop." Gameplay Every level ends with a boss battle, each featuring a weak spot (usually in the form of a blue core.) Two "boss-rush" sections return from Gradius III, including several bosses from that game.Īny completed section of the game can be replayed directly at any point. The game spans eight levels over seven environments the second and eight levels are identical. New are the optional "multiples" controls each 'type' has its own special option method with advantages and disadvantages over others. After completing the game once, a Weapon Edit type is selectable which lets you mix and match your weapon sets. The power up system is classic Gradius players pick a weapon set from a selection of four 'types' and activate power ups - dropped from enemy ships - from a linear bar at the bottom of the screen. Gradius V is a traditional 2D side-scrolling space shooter.
