Alien Shooter

Game Overview

Alien Shooter delivers fast-paced, high-body-count arcade action specifically re-tuned for portable play on the PlayStation Vita. Preserving the gritty isometric aesthetic and intense gore mechanics of the original PC release, the game focuses entirely on thrilling horde survival, weapon upgrades, and nonstop shooting.

Gameplay makes full use of the PS Vita’s dual analog sticks for traditional twin-stick shooter controls, allowing players to move with the left stick while aiming and firing in 360 degrees with the right. Players fight through ten dense campaign missions filled with hundreds of simultaneous enemies on screen. Between stages, cash earned from slaying aliens and discovering hidden wall caches can be spent at the equipment shop to purchase high-powered weaponry—ranging from dual pistols and shotguns to grenade launchers and plasma rifles—as well as implants, armor, and flashlight upgrades.

Beyond the main campaign mode, the PS Vita edition features a grueling Survival Mode, where players test their skills against endless waves of increasingly aggressive alien swarms to compete for high scores. With smooth performance, touch-screen weapon swapping options, and classic arcade mechanics, Alien Shooter offers an satisfying handheld action experience.
