About this product

Product Information

Shape-shifting aliens have taken over the city! Fortunately for us, a trio of heroes called the Alien Busters have agreed to wipe out the attacking alien force. This Alien Busters team consists of the following members: a muscular man, an athletic woman, and a robot. Since each side-scrolling stage is filled with attacking aliens, players must punch, kick, and blast their way though them in order to advance.<br><br>Gordon, a tough guy with a bazooka, has a gunship for a special attack, while Karla has a flame-thrower for alien crisping and prefers to use a ballistic missile drop for her special weapon. Finally, Slammer the robot has an electric whip (among other devices) to smash aliens and can self-destruct at will. Special attacks can be done as many times as players want as long as their energy bars are filled. Picking up energy kits and health containers will help refill your life and special bar meters.<br><br>At the end of every stage, the game switches to a pseudo-3D perspective, where the action turns into a shooter of sorts. Players control a target as the game moves them through a building, and they must shoot every alien that emerges from the scenery. When this segment is complete, the stage ends, though some levels also have a boss character that must be exterminated. To take on these tough aliens, players will have to demonstrate quick reflexes or rely on the use of special attacks.

  • A good arcade port

    As was the case with the original Golden Axe, this, originally in arcades, game was ported to the Sega Genesis almost flawlessly. Go in a journey to rid the earth of invading aliens as one of the three members of the Alien Busters team. If you look closely, the male and female characters resemble the Golden Axe protagonists and that is purposedly so you can immediately tell how you are to play the game. The last member is a robot which replaces the original dwarf. Gameplay is divided between Golden Axe like side scrolling beat them up, side scrolling "avoid the obstacles" run and chase and first person "shoot the aliens and save civilians" segments in which you can pretty much destroy everything in sight. You have your regular button-mash attack, the running attack, run and then jump and the roll and then attack, all of which are useful to either decimate opposition or tackle on the game bosses for optimal survival. You also have a super attack (like tha magic in Golden Axe) which can be used as long as you have energy left which is left behind by some of the defeated aliens or easily obtained during the first person shooting segments, provided you destroy everything in sight to find it. If you lose all your energy, your characters will resort to very basic attacks with their now useless weapons which are even more hilarious. Attack animations, both yours and the aliens' are amusing and sometimes even funny. This is a lighthearted beat them up + a bit of shooter game, but it can be challenging at higher difficulties (you can bring a buddy for two player alien mashing sessions). Go hunt some alien scum and save the planet while having a laugh.
