Alien Syndrome

Alien Syndrome is a top-down shooter based on Sega’s original Alien Syndrome action game. The game’s story takes place thousands of years after humanity has explored many galaxy parts and established numerous colonies. Seti-Alpha 5 (SAT5), one of these colonies, has lost contact for unknown reasons, and it is your responsibility to investigate what went wrong. Upon arrival, you are confronted with the alien syndrome, a force capable of mutating man and machine into lethal aliens. These events occur roughly 100 years after the original Alien Syndrome. When you first start the game, you can choose one of several characters and a character specialty (such as demolitions expert, firebug, seal, tank, and sharpshooter). The thing you choose will determine your initial character stats; as you progress through the game, you will earn levels, providing you with points to spend on improving your stats. Character stats influence your character’s accuracy in ranged or close attacks, speed, healing power, resistance to fire/radiation, armor strength, and other characteristics. The action is seen from the top down, as in the original game. You must explore the numerous corridors and rooms on SAT5 and eliminate the numerous alien invaders that can be found there. Mission objectives are frequently assigned to you and must be met. You can find additional weapons, ammo, and other valuable items throughout the levels. Your character has limited energy, and if it is depleted, you must restart from the last checkpoint you passed.
