The story takes place 20 years after the events of the first Aleste game, where an unknown space fortress has appeared and launched a massive attack on Earth's defenses. Ray Waizen, the hero from the previous game, had been killed in action while serving as an officer on the first spaceship to be attacked.
The game follows the story of his 19-year-old daughter, who is also a skilled pilot, as she sets out to save humanity and exact revenge for her father's tragic death. With her own ship and arsenal at her disposal, she must take on the enemy forces head-on in an epic battle to restore peace to the planet.
Gameplay-wise, Aleste II is all about speed and action, with a vast array of powerful weapons at your disposal. As you navigate through increasingly challenging levels, you'll face off against a variety of enemy spacecraft, each with its own unique characteristics and attack patterns.
The game features massive area bosses that span the entire screen, requiring precise timing and strategy to defeat. With multiple types of projectiles and defensive systems to master, Aleste II is an exhilarating experience for fans of fast-paced vertical shooters.
