Much more comfortable than its prequel to tackle its humorous side, while not going overboard into straight weird cute em up territory like lots of these bullet hell shooters moving forward. Memorable little moments like a naval ship that is introduced as if it is a boss while moments afterwards it gets struck by a huge ship by its side, roofs of russian buildings transforming into weirdly shaped enemies, or huge mechs that look ferocious yet trip into their backs while moving a bit backwards.

It's still not as funny as, say, Battle Mania 2, as otherwise a lot of the game is a simple airship shooter until you have to fight a huge monkey pilot or, and the need to replay it two times to really complete it is an artificial way to make it longer, but it has its charming moments and the soundtrack can get oddly atmospheric and experimental than what I would expect in an arcade shmup. At least it doesn't make me want to drop it due to how unremarkable it is like Toaplan shooters.
