Vasara 2, which was released in 2001, is the second and finale game in the Vasara Series of shoot-em-ups, as well as the finale game to be developed and released by Visco. Unlike most games of the genre, Vasara 2 draws heavily from the history of feudal Japan, rather than depicting a possible future. The game features a 'Sengoku-steampunk'[1] theme similar to Psikyo's Sengoku Ace Series.
The Vasara Series was ported to modern platforms in the form of the VASARA Collection on August 13, 2019.

Gameplay Overview
Vasara 2 is a two-button shooter.
Unlike most other games of the genre, the player is not destroyed or powered down when coming into contact with an enemy. The player is instead knocked backwards at an angle relative to the point and direction of contact.
There are two modes available for play: Easy and Hard
Easy: 1 Loop, 6 Stages, Lower rank
Hard: 2 Loops, 6 stages(12 total), Higher rank, TLB?, and True ending.?
Controls
- A (Press): Fires the players shots(Main and Sub). Each character features its own unique shots.
- A (Hold): Charges the players 'Slash' attack. Release to use. The slash attack cancels orange bullets, as well as negating the knock back usually suffered when colliding with an enemy.
- B: Unleashes a Vasara attack. Vasara attacks act as this game's bomb equivalent. While using a Vasara attack, the player deals constant damage to enemies slashed, cancels orange bullets slashed, becomes invulnerable, and destroys purple bullets upon contact. A player may have up to three Vasara attacks saved(shown under the players score), and they are refilled by collecting blue gems throughout the game.
Unlockable Secrets
There is a TLB and ending waiting at the end of the second loop.{?

We have support for wikitables, giving us the potential to add lots of cool info in a small box on the page somewhere, but we are not using them at the moment. I'm just leaving this here so we can have it handy in case we decide to actually use them. Feel free to not use this section.
