Sega's Alien Storm is a port of the arcade game done by Tiertex for US Gold. The game looks nice. The pixel art is very well drawn. I think that might be the end of the positives.
Unlike some of the recent shooters I have posted, this game has music and effects while playing. While the art is good, the animation is very choppy while playing. And the AI gets real cheap with attacks, very similar to another beat-em-up I have recorded earlier on the ST. I am sure people would just say blame Tiertex for that.
Overall, I can not really recommend this game. It looks nice, but plays poorly.
I plan on playing the Sega Master System version, and maybe the Genesis and arcade versions later for a comparison.
