Tyrian

Tyrian is a 'vertical shooter' that puts you in control of a spaceship and asks you to advance through a series of levels filled with enemies and dangers while you shoot at basically anything that moves.

The gameplay is similar to other titles in the genre: your ship is situated at the bottom of the screen, and enemies will appear from the top. All your movements and shots are controlled from your keyboard, and you'll need to be quick if you want to avoid the dozens of simultaneous shots that your enemies will attack with.

The games consists of five episodes and their respective final bosses, with many different weapons that you can combine (you'll almost always have two at the same time).

Tyrian is an entertaining game that will dazzle fans of the genre, that of the 'shoot 'em up' games that are becoming harder and harder to find.
