Overview
DoDonPachi is a 1997 vertically scrolling bullet hell video game developed by Cave and published by Atlus. It was the second game developed by Cave, and the sixth on Cave's first-generation arcade hardware. As with its predecessor DonPachi, the title is both a Japanese term for expressing the sound of gunfire, and a term that relates to bees (here it means "angry leader bee").
DoDonPachi II was released in 2001 from a different developer. Cave developed its own sequel, released in 2002, DoDonPachi DaiOuJou.
Cave also announced a revival of DoDonPachi Resurrection Reignite on April 8, 2026, when they shadow-dropped its Steam Store page for PC. The official release date has yet to be announced.
