Dragon saber is the conversion of Namco's arcade game,
sequel of Dragon Spirit.
This time, the sun goddess calls for help and two heroes decide to rescue the Earth
and the goddess Siria from the evil spirit created by humanity egoism and lack of
respect to nature. Dragon saber is very similar to Dragon Spirit,
same kind of power-ups and level structure. However it offers two major
features over its prequel. First of all, different
kind of dragons make their appearance (fire dragon, axe dragon, spark dragon etc...)
and each of them has a special
attack which can be charged up by holding the fire button. Then Namco
added a two simultaneous player mode. Finally, the game counts eight
varied stages, from lake and sea to volcanic mountains and event in the remains
of a huge long-dead creature.

Really cool shooter, as good as Dragon Spirit
with better graphics and weapons. The only bad point of
Dragon saber is its difficulty. The game is hard.
Yet, there is nice progression curve. Sort of... each time you
play (or lose), you kind of go a little bit further in the game...
however later stages do not follow this rule anymore and
are sort of unfair. For instance, the collision detection in the
ice cave is a bit loose to my taste.
I highly recommend this game to any shooter fan out there.
Great graphics, musics and excellent gameplay ! Damn, I was about to forget to mention
the best : the two players mode is ace !...
