Alien Soldier

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A frantic Treasure run-and-gun with a gauntlet of boss fights, fast gunplay and a flexible weapon loadout. It is extremely demanding, rewarding pattern memorization and precise reflexes.

A classic Square side-scrolling shooter where you pilot a nimble fighter and steal weapons from enemies to use as your own. Driving techno music, imposing bosses and demanding precision make it a PlayStation cult favourite.
