Tatsujin Oh or Truxton II is the sequel to the smash hit Tatsujin or Truxton. The whole game has been overhauled with redesigned weapons and enemies, but boy, is it ever a difficult game... and frustrating too. But is it worth it to power on through to the very end? Eh, no one reads the descriptions anyway, so I'll just tell you here: No I don't think it is, but it's a really cool game. If by some chance you are actually reading the description, welcome, and thanks for reading. I've got more videos on Truxton and Toaplan that I'd like to make, so keep an eye out for those.

Quick note, "Tatsujin Oh" actually translates to something more like Master King or King Master, which gets the idea of this game being incredible difficult even better than what I say in the video. EDIT: Reddit user Tessier_Ashpool_SA sent me a dev interview and I thought this excerpt was rather funny: Interviewer: I’ve listened to the Tatsujin Ou soundtrack on CD, and I really love the song for stage 5. But the game is too difficult for me so I’ve never heard it in the game center. (laughs) Yuge: That is my favorite song from Tatsujin Ou, too. I didn’t program Tatsujin Ou, but I apologize if it is too difficult. (laughs) And here's a link to that interview: shmuplations.com/toaplan-yuge1/

Nice video! Tatsujin Oh is a game I have a lot of experience with, and I could sit here and talk for hours about how wild it is. It's one hell of a game. Easily the hardest shmup I've played to date.
