Gameplay

Navigate the cosmos in Altair II, a single-player shooter from Spanish manufacturer Cidelsa. Players control a spacecraft tasked with defending against waves of approaching enemies. Unlike some similar games of the era, Altair II allows for vertical movement, providing more flexibility as you maneuver to avoid attacks and target incoming threats. The game builds upon its predecessor, Altair, featuring updated visuals and gameplay elements. A distinctive addition is the final enemy encountered – a large-headed alien within a bubble—marking a visual change from the earlier title. As you progress, expect increasingly challenging patterns of projectiles and enemies to test your reflexes and strategic positioning. Altair II was released in Spain and offers a straightforward yet engaging gallery shooter experience for one player at a time.
