Gameplay
The basic gameplay follows the formula first implemented by the original Nemesis in that you, controlling the Metalion, which is based from Gradius IV's Vic Viper, fly horizontally through stages and defeat the bosses at the end, aiming to rack up as many points as possible in the process. Players can submit their scores to the website right through the game client and compete with other players for bragging rights.this game will show you how long you been training in the other gradius saga games

Offline Mode
Offline mode plays like you'd expect, you being the only player playing through the various stages available while racking up as many points as possible. After completing a level or completing all levels, you're given a chance to upload your level or game score to the online high score listing (if you've chosen to enable that feature).

Online Mode
In the main menu of the Nemesis Online screen there is a online options which allows you to join any servers/room a player is hosting. Up to 8 players can play in a single room. When players beat a stage while online with other players a ranking is shown for players with the highest score to the least. The player who scores the highest gets rewarded a regular medal and a special medal. There is a ranking for the medals on the hompage of the website.



Power-Ups
Power-ups in Nemesis Online are heavily inspired and borrows from Nemesis 2 in that a number of weapons can be upgraded. Players start out with the standard shot, but they can gain not only shot and missile upgrades, but a second type of sub-weapon as well.

General Upgrades
The player's ship can hold each of these upgrades without one overriding another.


 * (S)peed-Up - Speed-Ups enable the player to move around the screen faster.
 * (M)issile - Gives the player the ability to drop missiles. Can be upgraded to Land, Hawk, and Homing Missile.
 * (O)ption - Gives the player glowing drones which follow the path of the player's ship as well as firing whatever weapons the player has equipped at the time. The player can have a maximum of two Options. If the player dies, the Options will become dormant and remain where they lay until picked up again(only work in online mode).
 * (?) Shield - The player gains a pair of powerful, star-shaped shields directly in front. Can be upgraded further to a full-fledged Force Field.

Primary Weapon Upgrades
Only one primary weapon may be equipped at a time. Changing weapons will immediately cancel any upgrades gained.


 * (N)ormal Shot - The default weapon of the Metalion. Can be upgraded to Tail Gun, 4 Way Shot and 8 Way Shot.
 * (R)ipple Laser - The Metalion fires out energy rings which expand and cover a decent amount of vertical area. Can be upgraded to Super Ripple
 * (L)aser - The Metalion's default shots become lasers which pierce through normal enemies. Can be upgraded to Meteo and Screw Laser.

Secondary Weapon Upgrades
Only one secondary weapon may be equipped at a time. Changing weapons will immediately cancel any upgrades gained.


 * (U)p Laser - Fires a small, horizontal beam of energy straight up. Can be upgraded to expand the horizontal length it covers.
 * (D)iagonal Laser - Fires a laser up and down diagonally ahead. Can be upgraded with the Reflex and Quad Laser.

SHIP DEFAULTS
before you start to play the game, the player Default ships are these:

Player 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8

the default ships are supposed to have v tails. why these planes look like copies of the vic viper, is a mystery.
