Four years after the previous title “GUNBIRD,” a new, even more powerful quintet arrives.
In addition to the “Level-Based Charge Shot Attack” that proved its worth in STRIKERS II,
a new attack system using the third button, “Close Combat,” makes its debut!
Furthermore, the familiar bonus item that “sparksleeks for 2000 points” now features
a “CHAIN System” for high scores through consecutive shots!
Of course, Marion and the three goofballs are back in action.
The range of fun expands even further as “GUNBIRD 2” takes flight!!
The new character designs are handled by
Masato Natsumoto,
who brought the wonderful world of GUNBIRD to life in its comic adaptation.
A new GUNBIRD world is born.

Set across the globe, five troubled characters embark on an adventure
to obtain the legendary panacea
passed down since ancient times.
However, to acquire the panacea,
they must gather three secret potions:
the “Sun Fragment,” “Star Whisper,” and “Moon Dew,”
and reach the god residing in the phantom underground temple.
Along the way, a trio of villains led by a female pirate (sky pirate)
will use every trick in the book to block the characters' path.
