At a glance

Truxton II is a vertically scrolling science-fiction shooter developed by Toaplan, released on Steam in 2024 for Windows, macOS and Linux. It follows the earlier Truxton as a space-action sequel, with fast bullet patterns and difficult bosses. Players can choose an easy mode, and modern rewind and quick-save features provide ways to revisit difficult sections. The original game’s weapons include a tracking blue search laser, a powerful red napalm bomb and a green normal shot that spreads with power-ups. Two-player co-op lets a pair of HyperFighters take on the enemies together. Its presentation uses pixel art and music composed by Masahiro Yuge. Steam lists single-player, multiplayer, shared or split-screen co-op, achievements and full controller support, with a gamepad recommended. The source describes its difficulty as especially high, while also noting the easier mode and save tools.
