About

<h2>Overview</h2><p>Galaxy Force II is a shoot 'em up that uses the Z-axis instead of the standard horizontal or vertical orientations of other games in the genre, similar to its Sega contemporaries <a href="/after-burner/3025-21/" data-ref-id="3025-21">After Burner</a> and <a href="/space-harrier/3025-344/" data-ref-id="3025-344">Space Harrier</a>. It is the sequel to <a href="/galaxy-force/3030-13031/" data-ref-id="3030-13031">Galaxy Force</a>, though it might be more accurate to call it a remaster of that original due to the large amount of shared content: it also fixes the first game's bugs and adds a few new stages.</p><p>After its arcade debut Galaxy Force II appeared on multiple home computers before eventually finding its way onto the Sega Genesis and Sega Saturn. It would later appear in a few Sega compilations, like <a href="/sega-ages-2500-series-vol-30-galaxy-force-ii-speci/3030-39006/" data-ref-id="3030-39006">Sega Ages 2500</a>, before being turned into a 3D-enabled game by M2 for their Nintendo 3DS <a href="/sega-3d-classics-collection/3025-3366/" data-ref-id="3025-3366">Sega 3D Classics</a> line, where it was renamed 3D Galaxy Force II. The Genesis port is also available as a standalone game on Steam.</p>
