Andro Dunos is a 1992 sci-fi Horizontal Scrolling Shooter developed by Visco Corporation and published by Neo Geo.Like most spaceship-themed arcade shooters at the time, Andro Dunos doesn't have much of a backstory to justify it's Excuse Plot; in the future, an unknown, hostile alien race has invaded earth, and humanity decides to retaliate with their Neo Type space-fighters, of which they have only two prototypes of: the Yellow Cherry (Player 1) and Red Fox (Player 2). Armed to the teeth with assorted weapons including multi-directional turrets, missiles, lasers and assoted upgrades (which the player is free to cycle around while flying all over the place), it's up to the Yellow Cherry and Red Fox to take on an entire invasion force.A Cult Classic at it's time of release, the game managed to acquire enough of a fanbase for a sequel to be released 30 years later, made by indie game developer PixelHeart Studios.Three decades later (both in-game and real life), the aliens are back and have conquered most of Planet Earth in a massive counterattack. Yellow Cherry and Red Fox are called out of retirement to counter the invasion force, once more.With arcades no longer a thing in 2022, the sequel is instead made for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 (a system upgrade might be needed for the latter).Despite the similar-sounding titles, do not confuse this with Andro Melos.

Shows Damage: A new feature in the sequel, thanks to no longer adhering to graphic limitations of the mid-90s. Now bosses will visibly break apart when receiving enough damage; the Cyber Cyclops will have it's blue eye turning red, the Leviathan's face cracks to reveal internal wiring, and so on.

Wave-Motion Gun: Most bosses in both games have at least one of these in their arsenal, where they'll fire a thick energy beam covering more than half the screen when trying to take down the players.

comment
Happy Ending Override: Downplayed; the first game ends with Yellow Cherry and Red Fox thwarting the invader's plans by destroying their space base, but the sequel starts with Earth already occupied by the aliens and most of the planet's surface a wasteland. However, Yellow Cherry and Red Fox have been upgraded in the interim and quickly form a counterattack.

 Andro Dunos (Video Game) / int_53e1f74c
comment
Asteroid Thicket: The first game's fifth stage is set in an asteroid field where stray meteorites needs to be shot before it hits the players. In a slightly more realistic manner, small, fast-moving meteors can be destroyed, but large ones are fixed on a single spot and immune to all damage. The sequel repeats this in it's third stage.

Walking Tank: A new enemy introduced in the sequel, the alien forces now have mechs on two legs carrying a cockpit attached with a huge turret. They're even towers above most regular enemies and can absorb lots of missiles before going down, serving as Giant Mook-type enemies.

Stationary Boss: Most of the bosses in the original game, being giant war machines tethered to the ground, takes up an entire corner of the screen and can only retaliate by firing projectiles. In the case of the Alien Core, it's growing from the flesh-covered wall of a cavern.

Kill It with Ice: The Leviathan mech in the sequel seems to have a preference of using ice-exclusive weapons against the players, either firing ice projectiles, dropping icicles, and so on. Fittingly, defeating the Leviathan will cause it's onboard ice weapons to malfunction and freeze itself.
