Exzeal is a Japanese shoot 'em up arcade game developed by Triangle Service, a small Japanese videogame development company. It is the sequel to Trizeal; like its predecessor, it runs on the Sega NAOMI hardware and is part of Shooting Love 2007 along with Shmups Skills Test. A Dreamcast port was rumored but never released. A compilation of Trizeal and Exzeal named Shooting Love 200X was released for the Xbox 360 in Japan on February 19, 2009. The latest game in the series, Shooting Love Arcade, is releasing for the Sega RingEdge2 arcade system board in 2012.

Gameplay

Exzeal follows the similar formula to Trizeal in which players progress through the stages and destroy the bosses respectively. However, the weapon power-up system from Trizeal was removed, replaced by the special fixed-weapon system, with a standard attack and a charged attack that can destroy single large enemies once. The player can choose from one of the four weapon sets during the start, with one mimicking the attack pattern of XII Stag.
