Craving some top-down shooter action? While there are numerous stellar choices available, a fresh contender has just hit the scene with Alien Core: Galaxy Invasion, now available on iOS. Curious if it brings something new to the table in this familiar genre? Let's dive in and explore.
In Alien Core, your mission is straightforward: take down the rogue AI known as O-Core, which has betrayed its creators and founded the Ostallian Empire. The most effective way to achieve this? By piloting your starship and blasting through O-Core's forces.
Alien Core adopts a low-resolution style, paying homage to the bullet hell genre, as you navigate through entertainingly retro spacescapes. The game includes all the classic elements you'd expect: snagging power-ups, upgrading your ship for better performance, and demolishing enemy installations in a shower of pixels.
Shoot the core! With an abundance of boss battles, multiple ships to unlock, and options between arcade and story modes, Alien Core offers plenty of reasons to give it a closer look. The chain-reaction mechanic stands out, providing a deeply satisfying experience as you watch pixels explode in a cascade.
However, if the game's basic graphics don't appeal to you, that's understandable. Yet, with its packed features, Alien Core might still be worth exploring if you're in the mood for some fast-paced, retro-style action.
