Gradius NEO Imperial

Gradius NEO Imperial

Gradius NEO Imperial is a horizontally-scrolling shooter game developed and published by Konami in March 1, 2004 for mobile phones, and was released on NTT DoCoMo's FOMA 900i line of phones in Japan. A video game developer is a software developer (a business or an individual) that creates computer or video games.

In contrast to other Gradius games, players control the opposing force in form of a Big Core. However, since the Big Core you take control in this game is a betrayer ship escaping from Lars Empire, which was the enemy in Gradius NEO, you won't fight against the Gradius Union.

Trivia

• The enemies in the game, Zebra and Wolfar, resemble the fighter craft known as the Arrowheads from R-Type Leo, and slightly the Silver Hawks from Darius, a non-Gradius game with similarities to the game, for example, the title Darius and Gradius both have -ius at the end of their names.
