It's a nightmare, but it's true! Research shows that we are the actual aliens on Earth, and the ruthless Xevions are the original inhabitants. Now the Xevions want Earth back -- minus humans! Their invasion forces are fierce -- the land is crawling with deadly Domogram Rovers; the sky is black with Toroid Patrol Fleets and Zoshi Death Squads. Our puny weapons offer no defense. Earth's only hope is our powerful new Solvalou Fighter Plane. Its pilot will have a single mission: Penetrate the enemy ranks and destroy the Xevious Mother Ship. The mission is dangerous. We can't guarantee success. But at this point, it's do or die! One small problem. We still need a pilot. Any volunteers?

The FIrst game this one gamed
As important as it may be it's one of those slow vertical shmups I wouldn't play for long sessions.
Average NES game experience
Un buen shoot em up.
The most interesting thing about this game is the background being on earth. It's fascinating how it feels to be a paradigm shift in graphics by simply giving you something to look at that isn't yet another star field.
That being said, nothing here is better or more interesting than in many schmups that came before it, and I would argue the combat just feels unfocused. Rather than waves of enemies that you need to figure out how to deal with, it's almost as if they randomly populated them on the map.
The sound effects are basic, and the obnoxious background music that just repeats the same few grating notes detracts from the experience as well.

Difficult shmup game.
