Craving some top-down shooter action? Look no further than the newly released *Alien Core: Galaxy Invasion*, now available on iOS! This game brings a fresh yet nostalgic twist to the well-trodden genre with its low-res charm. Dive in and see if it's the right fit for you.
In *Alien Core*, your mission is straightforward: obliterate the rogue AI, O-Core, which has betrayed its creators and established the Ostallian Empire. The best way to accomplish this? Hop into your starship and blast your way through O-Core's forces.
The game adopts a retro, low-res aesthetic, embracing the bullet hell genre while whisking you through engagingly old-school spacescapes. You'll find all the classic elements here, including power-ups to collect, basic ship upgrades to enhance your journey, and the thrill of demolishing enemy installations, which explode in a satisfying pixelated cascade.
**Shoot the core!** With plenty of boss battles, various ships to unlock, and a choice between arcade and story mode, *Alien Core* offers a lot to explore. The chain-reaction mechanic stands out, providing a deeply satisfying experience as you watch pixels disintegrate.
While the graphics might strike some as overly simplistic, *Alien Core* compensates with a rich feature set. If you're in the mood for fast-paced, retro-style action, this game might just be worth your time.
