Craving some top-down shooter action? Look no further! The newly released Alien Core: Galaxy Invasion is now available on iOS, bringing a nostalgic, low-res twist to the beloved genre. But does it bring something fresh to the table? Let's dive in and explore.
In Alien Core, your mission is clear: obliterate the rogue AI known as O-Core, which has betrayed its creators and established the Ostallian Empire. Your weapon of choice? A starship loaded and ready to blast through O-Core's forces.
Embracing a retro aesthetic, Alien Core delivers a bullet hell experience set against entertainingly basic yet charmingly retro spacescapes. You'll find all the classic features here, from power-ups to collect, essential ship upgrades to enhance your gameplay, and the thrilling task of demolishing enemy installations into a shower of pixels.
Shoot the core! With a variety of boss battles, multiple ships to unlock, and the choice between an arcade and story mode, Alien Core offers a rich experience. The chain-reaction mechanic stands out, providing that satisfying thrill of watching pixels explode in a cascade.
However, the game's graphics might not appeal to everyone due to their simplicity. Despite this, Alien Core is packed with features that could make it a worthwhile pick for fans of fast-paced, retro-style action.
