A retro run 'n gun with alien bosses
Alien Strike: Blasting the Intruders is a Run 'n Gun built around sliding, jumping and shooting in 8 directions through electrifying levels with pixelated visuals. You control recruits, equip two weapons at once and swap between them in the heat of combat. Enemies you defeat fill a special bar; when it bursts, you trigger a devastating blow that clears the screen. Picking the right moment for that move matters more than mashing it. Bosses bring unique attacks and unexpected patterns, so the firefight keeps changing as you push toward the final battle.
Playing together in local co-op
Local multiplayer supports up to 3 players fighting side by side at full arcade pace. Each player can run, climb cables, dominate the map and distribute lead in real time. Weapons can be collected, upgraded and shared across the team as the fight goes on, which lets you combine styles instead of everyone running the same loadout. Remote Play Together is available, so friends can join in through that feature as well.
What to know before starting
Collecting the same weapon more than once unlocks its X version, which fires more aggressive shots in different shapes with increased firepower. That reward pushes you toward repeating weapon drops rather than spreading thin across everything you find. The game runs on a linear structure with a 2D side-scrolling layout and controller support, so expect a straightforward path through levels rather than open exploration. Boss encounters are the main set pieces, and their attack patterns are the part worth learning before you commit your special.
