Gradius Collection

Developer: Konami

Gradius Collection gathers classic side-scrolling shooters from Konami into a portable package for PSP, delivering the series' signature weapon power-up system, dense bullet patterns, and memorable boss encounters.

It’s a nostalgia trip for fans of 2D shmups—fast-paced runs, high-score chasing, and brutal difficulty that rewards practice and reflexes. Whether tackling short arcade loops or mastering longer stages, the collection captures the tense, addictive feel of retro shooters and the satisfaction of perfecting runs.
