DoDonPachi is Cave's sequel to their 1995 arcade release DonPachi. Like its predecessor, DoDonPachi is a vertical-scrolling and military- and robot-themed manic shooter featuring a giant mecha bee for a final boss. The player's ship and the gameplay are virtually the same as in DonPachi, with one of three weapons selected at start then levelled-up by collecting dropped power-ups.
DoDonPachi is a vertically scrolling manic shooter arcade game developed by Cave and published by Atlus in 1997. It was the second game developed by Cave, and the sixth on Cave's first generation arcade hardware. As with its predecessor DonPachi, the title is both a Japanese term for expressing the sound of gunfire, and a term that relates to bees (here it means "angry leader bee"). The sequel to this game is DoDonPachi II, which was made by a different developer. The original developer later released its own sequel, DoDonPachi Dai Ou Jou.
Compared to DonPachi, DoDonPachi is generally known for introducing new gameplay elements while improving or changing existing ones. The overall background of the game, unlike following sequels, remains more or less centered around a supposed invasion by a mysterious race of mechanized aliens, which the player is called to face throughout its run. However, more sinister and shocking secrets lie beneath the surface, accessible only to those brave and skilled enough to clear the entire game.
Fighters:
The player takes on the role of a squadron fighter facing a race of mechanized aliens that recently appeared and started causing havoc. There are three different ships to choose between, and each ship can be played in Laser or Shot mode.
- Type A: A red (or yellow/orange, for player two) fighter, which fires a narrow stream of shots
- Type B: A green (or purple, for player two) helicopter, which fires its main guns forward, but has side guns that rotate in the direction of movement
- Type C: A blue (or black, for player two) fighter, which fires a wide, three-way spread of shots
The game has 7 areas, but area 7 is only accessible by entering 2nd loop.
