The Tigers Return. The Legend Begins Anew––
The fourth entry in the highly acclaimed M2ShotTriggers line to release worldwide, the Kyukyoku Tiger-Heli collection includes the two "Tiger" games by the developer Toaplan, responsible for many a fabled arcade shooting games.
Kyukyoku Tiger/Twin Cobra (1987) is one of Toaplan's most emblematic works. The game revolves around strategic use of the main weapons and the devastating bombs, which riveted the attention of not only hardcore arcade-goers but also office workers looking for a quick 'buzz'. The seed of its core mechanics can be seen in its predecessor Tiger-Heli (1985), which is also present in this collection.
For veteran shooters and new pilots
In addition to the authentic "Arcade Mode" which is a faithful recreation of the original's rock-hard gameplay, both titles include a "Super Easy Mode" that allows even genre newcomers to enjoy the games.
Support functions and intel
The game is packed with a variety of features that help the player. The M2 gadgets displayed on the left and right of the playing field alert the player of enemies appearing from blind spots, the location of hidden features, what the next item will be, and other things that help you improve your chances of surviving the barrage of enemies.
