Alien Soldier is a Mega Drive game created by Treasure in 1995. In the game you control a bird man in a suit or something and get your shit pushed in by relentless enemy confrontations. With 4 weapon slots and 6 weapons to choose from, you must race through short levels to confront and defeat numerous bosses. At your disposal is the ability to dash, hover in place, double jump, stand/run on the ceiling, and switch between locked in place shooting or shooting while running.

The fast paced action running at 60 fps pushes the Mega Power of your Mega Drive and has captivated many through the years to prove that they are, in fact, not a casual faggot.

Recently, a game called Cup Head has been created based off of the Alien Soldier formula of short levels, creative boss design, and fast paced action.

This thread is dedicated to Alien Soldier. Enjoy.

I started playing this and dropped it at the 20 something boss. It's fun as fuck, and I like the concept of the reward of reaching a boss with max health being that get you get to instantly drop the boss to half health with a fuck you Phoenix Force.

A great game. Not only you have all those options, but during gameplay you can either get one of the other weapons that you didn't chose in the beginning, or doubling down (basically, recharging) one of your current ones, by finding them on the stages.

The Seven Force fight (homage to Gunstar Heroes) is one of the best and satisfying boss fights in video game.

The only small complain that i have with the game is that the developers should had at least made a better ending to make it satisfying for the player when he finishes a game so fast paced and difficult. Their attempted plot with some sporadic cutscenes and rushed ending are the only letdowns.

It would be better to have no plot at all, or simply have more care put into it.

Alien Soldier is my fucking jam. Runner AD2025 needs a proper metal remix.

40kids are furry-tier. You faggots have to inject your shitty game into absolutely everything.

I remember the choice between this game along with 5 others or a brand new Saturn. Glad I chose the former.

Why did you drop it?

Alien Soldier is like the Super Metroid of arcade action games in my opinion. It doesn't do anything major wrong but it definitely gets a lot of stuff right, and it does it with an outlier control scheme to boot.

Alien Solider is “Best Game Most People Will Never Hear About” tier. There needs to be more games based around boss rushing, like those two SNES light gun games with the mechs.

Only thing I didn’t like about Alien Soldier is hard mode locking your weapon choices. I never got good enough to figure out the right combination of weapons to defeat the game on hard mode.

Eh? Hard Mode doesn't lock your weapon choices. You can still swap out weapons using the boxes on Superhard. Besides, Superhard is disappointingly barely a step up from Supereasy despite what the names imply, so it shouldn't be a massive bother either way. The winning combo is Flamer/Flamer/Lancer/Lancer, and then switching out a Flamer for another Lancer before the Seven Force fight. They're the best weapons for each damage type, but they require more finesse and skill to use than others, so it kind of balances it out.

Also, being in Fixed Shot mode drains less ammo when firing continuous-fire weapons than when you are in Free Shot mode, which adds a bit of optimization for ammo management.
