Gameplay
In-game screenshot.
As in the original Dragon Spirit, the player controls a dragon who shoots at air-based enemies and bombs ground-based enemies, except this time two players can play simultaneously - player one controls Huey (the blue dragon) while player two controls Siria (the red dragon). Also a third button was added to the Arcade Cabinet which allowed the player to charge up their shot.
Ports
There were two arcade ports of this game in Japan. One was released on the Namco Museum Encore for PlayStation in 1997 while the other is the Virtual Console Arcade release in 2009.
