GunForce 2 Arcade by Irem games, known in Japan as GeoStorm, is a 1994 run and gun shmup action for Neo Geo MVS Platform. It is the sequel to the original GunForce and one of the last retro games, if not the last to be released by the company before ceasing development of video games in the same year.

In GunForce 2 gameplay, players take control of Max and Lei through multiple stages battling against enemy soldiers and aliens, while rescuing POWs and collecting medals. It is considered a spiritual predecessor to the Metal Slug franchise by SNK, as the first title in the series bears many similarities with this game and it is also sometimes referred to as "Metal Slug Zero".

GeoStorm Irem is a run and gun game where players take control of the soldiers Max (P1) and Lei (P2) across five stages that take place in a futuristic post-apocalyptic setting, battling against an army of enemy soldiers, mutants, aliens, among other types of enemies to fight, while rescuing female POWs and collecting medals along the way to increase their score at the end of each level. One of the unique features of the Geostorm gameplay is that the player's character are dual wielding two weapons at the same time that can be aimed in any given direction and at a slightly different angle each one, while different weapons scattered on the level are available to be collected, but only one can be upgraded as the other one keeps the default weapon.

As with the first part this beat em up games series, each retrogamer in Gun Force 2 1994 may find a vehicle scattered in the current level they are in and there are eleven in total to be found through the course of the game, which the players can ride and use against the enemy forces and they tend to vary from level to level, but some of them do not provide any kind of protection for the player against enemy attacks. If the players lose all of their lives, the game is over unless more credits are inserted into the arcade machine to continue playing. Once all the stages of Gun Force 2 Irem are cleared, players are sent back to the beginning of the first level, as the game loops infinitely.
