Victory Road is the first sequel to Ikari Warriors, and features the same rotary joystick run-and-gun gameplay as its predecessor. Picking up at the end of the first game's story, Victory Road finds victorious heroes Paul and Vince suddenly thrown thousands of years into the future by a mysterious storm, where an alien named Zang Zip has taken over. Unlike the first game's relatively straightforward premise and style, Victory Road features a somewhat oddball sci-fi aesthetic, with hordes of tiny grunts, jumping spider-like aliens, flying insectoid enemies and more. The game also includes quirky sample-based sound effects, starting with a hilariously weird sampled taunt from the villain that sounds more like a pro wrestler than an alien overlord. Like Ikari Warriors, the game can be a challenge to emulate properly, requiring some method of rotating your aiming direction.
