Craving some top-down shooter action? Look no further than the newly launched Alien Core: Galaxy Invasion, now available on iOS. This game brings a nostalgic, low-res twist to the beloved bullet hell genre, offering all the classic features you'd expect and more.
In Alien Core, your mission is straightforward: take down the rogue AI, O-Core, which has betrayed its creators and established the Ostallian Empire. How do you do that? By piloting your starship and blasting your way through O-Core's formidable forces.
The game's low-resolution graphics create a retro feel as you navigate through entertaining spacescapes. You'll find all the staples of the genre here, including power-ups to collect, basic ship upgrades to enhance your gameplay, and the satisfying destruction of enemy installations, which explode in a cascade of pixels.
**Shoot the core!** With a variety of boss battles, multiple ships to unlock, and the choice between arcade and story modes, Alien Core offers plenty to keep you engaged. A standout feature is the chain-reaction mechanic, which adds a primal satisfaction to blasting pixels into oblivion.
While the graphics might seem a bit too basic for some, Alien Core is packed with features that could appeal to fans of fast-paced, retro-style action.
