Game Description
A groundbreaking game, Xevious was the first vertically scrolling shooter to feature dual-level attacks against land-based targets as well as airborne enemies. Players pilot a Solvalou Fighter plane above Earth, which is under attack by aliens, blasting everything in sight. With its elegant graphics, pleasant audio and regally portrayed alien vessels, this is one of the more "polite" shooters on the market, highlighted by rotating, mirror-like obstacles and wind chime-like sound effects. Gameplay is challenging, but rarely frustrating, with a certain rhythm and charm shooter fans should enjoy.
