‘GRADIUS ORIGINS’ - Launch Trailer

The Gradius series is one of the longest-running 2D shoot-em-up series out there, stretching back to the ‘80s. Konami has put together an impressive compilation called GRADIUS ORIGINS that chronicles roughly its first decade. It has the American and Japanese versions of the Gradius and Salamander (Life Force) games up through Gradius III, plus the all-new Salamander III made just for this collection.

Quality-of-life features include online leaderboards, a rewind function, plus easy, invincible, and training modes. If you like 2D shoot-em-ups, you’ve likely played at least one of these games before, and this collection is one that might be worth taking a look at.

GRADIUS ORIGINS is out now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
