GAMEPLAYĪlien Soldier is a side-scrolling run and gun affair very similar to the legendary Gunstar Heroes. His predecessor Epsilon-Eagle is reformed and has now returned to deal out justice against his former comrades. Armed with all the hardware you can carry, blast, shoot and burn through level after level of incredible cyber-action before confronting the mighty Xi-Tiger."Įpsilon-Eagle intends to save the planet A-Earth from a terrorist group called Scarlet created by A-Human and lead by XI-Tiger.
All hope now lies with Epsilon-Eagle, a fearsome warrior with a lethal arsenal. "In the year 2015 the planet Sierra is in the grips of Xi-Tiger's Scarlet terrorists. Players can choose whether to have classic sprite and pixellated graphics or a new non-pixelled mode giving a hand-drawn look.
The game was released in November 2007 for Nintendo's Wii Virtual Console at the cost of 800 points, is available on Steam and was also part of the Gunstar Heroes Treasure Box (SEGA Ages 2500 Volume 25) which also included Dynamite Heddy and Gunstar Heroes. Expect pay around £60 for a complete copy.ĭespite the outpouring of praise upon first release through consistently high review scores and the ongoing pleading of fans, the game had limited exposure and there was never any sequel or ports to other systems. Released in Europe and Japan in 1995 as one of the last Mega Drive games having a fairly limited run and as a result fetches a pretty high price because of its rarity. The soundtrack is easily one of the best from the 16-Bit era. Developed by Treasure, it is another favourite amongst hardcore gamers for its intense action gameplay.Īlien Soldier not only has some great graphics (typical of any Treasure game) and speed only afforded by the power of the Mega Drive and the great programming talent Treasure have.
Alien Soldier is recommended as another essential piece of Mega Drive gaming.
