Otomedius is a horizontally scrolling shooter from Konami. The title comes from the Japanese word Otome meaning Maiden, and features voluptuous anime girls as the main characters. The gameplay is similar to Gradius, and can be seen as a successor to the long running Parodius series, which aimed to parody the Gradius series of space-based horizontally-scrolling shooters.
In addition to the traditional control panel, Otomedius utilizes a touch screen interface which allows players to navigate the game's menus, including character selection, type selection and level selection.
The e-Amusement pass is also utilized, which allows players to save character data, weapons and ranking system data. Players are also able to customize their craft with power ups and different weapons, and are also ranked based on their performance.
