This side-scrolling platformer is about Killian Jared, a man who became a mercenary to save his daughter Celeste from an evil race of aliens known as the Xenos. Having learned the location of their main base from an informant, he begins one-man assault to rescue his daughter. The gameplay is a lot like Nintendo's Metroid series. The main goal of the game is to explore the base, blasting enemies with a variety of weapons, and finding special upgrades, such as energy tanks to increase your maximum health and the Saturn Ball, whereby Killian rolls into a ball to squeeze through tight spaces. You will be able to pick up new weapons and ammo along the way, and a nice touch is that you can talk to friendly aliens who offer advice on where to go and what to do. On the plus side, the aliens in this game are quite tough, the graphics are nicely drawn and full of background details, and the game features a full suite of music, sound effects, and voice acting. It's one of the rarest shareware games ever made. |
