==Story==
'''Dragon Saber''' (full title: '''Dragon Saber: After Story of Dragon Spirit''') is a vertical scrolling [[shooter]] arcade game that was released by [[Namco]] in [[1990]]. It runs on Namco's System 2 hardware and as its aforementioned full title suggests, it's the sequel to [[Dragon Spirit]], which was released 3 years earlier. The game's title was abbreviated by Namco as "'''DO'''" to separate it from Dragon Spirit's abbreviation, "DS".
The human beings have repeated their foolish history, because of their own desires. And everything around then has been to come to nothing. Advanced alchemy has caused environmental disruption, the world has been filled with evil creatures, and the human beings have been threatened with extinction. Meanwhile, the sun god Arlia appeared from the sky to the humans, and told: "The brave young men, Huey and Siria. I grant you this sacred saber. Show your good spirit!"
 
As in the original Dragon Spirit, the player must take control of a prince transformed into a dragon by a flash of lightning - 1UP controls "Huey" (blue) and 2UP controls "Siria" (red), which means that two players can play simultaneously, but "Amul" (the protagonist of that original game) isn't present here.
