Description

On the Sega Mega Drive, Alien Storm delivers a punchy beat ’em up / blaster hybrid straight from the arcade. Join the Alien Busters—Garth, Karen, and Scooter the robot—in a tongue-in-cheek invasion cleanup that flips modes on the fly: side-scrolling street fights, first-person gallery shootouts, and high-speed auto-run chases. Everyday locations—city blocks, convenience stores, labs, and a writhing mothership—burst with shape-shifting enemies hiding inside trash cans, shop signs, and mailboxes. A shared energy meter fuels spectacular specials (and Scooter’s self-destruct rescue), so routing pickups and conserving shots matters as much as mashing attacks. Snappy controls, chunky hit sparks, and grotesquely funny animations give every encounter that early-’90s Sega flair, while two-player co-op doubles the spectacle and strategy. With brisk stages, big boss patterns, and score-attack replay value, Alien Storm stands as a fast, colorful arcade port that mixes genres without losing momentum—a perfect shelf piece for fans of mutant-splattering action on original hardware.
