Strike Force Heroes II

The Strike Force Heroes II game are side-scrolling shoot-'em-up where the player takes control of an armed commando who must fight all sort of extraterrestrial monsters and other kinds of futuristic menaces.

The main power-ups in the series are falcon-shaped letter icons which will replace the player's default weapon with a new one, such as a Laser Gun or a Spread Gun. There are also power-ups that are actually auxiliary items like the Barrier (which provides temporary invincibility) or the Rapid Bullets (which increases the firing speed of the player's current weapon). You could buy more number of power-ups also.

Most of the games have the player begin the game with only a set number of lives (three in most console games). If the player gets hit, they will lose a life along with any weapon they currently possess in some games. Extra lives are usually obtained in most games when the player reaches certain scores. You could buy more number of lives also.
