Alien Core: Galaxy Invasion Launches on iOS with Galaga-Style Bullet Hell Action

Craving some top-down shooter action? Look no further than the newly released Alien Core: Galaxy Invasion, now available on iOS! This game brings a fresh take to the genre with its low-res charm, offering all the classic features you love in a bullet hell shooter.

In Alien Core, your mission is straightforward: destroy the rogue AI, O-Core, which has turned against its creators and established the Ostallian Empire. The most effective way to achieve this? Hop into your starship and blast your way through O-Core's forces.

The game adopts a retro aesthetic with low-resolution graphics that evoke a nostalgic feel as you navigate through various spacescapes. You'll find all the staples of the genre here: collect power-ups, upgrade your ship with basic enhancements, and obliterate enemy installations, watching them explode in a satisfying cascade of pixels.

Shoot the core! Alien Core isn't just about the visuals; it's packed with features to keep you engaged. With numerous boss battles, various ships to unlock, and the choice between arcade and story modes, there's a lot to explore. The chain-reaction mechanic stands out, offering a deeply satisfying experience as you blast enemies into pixelated oblivion.

While the graphics might seem overly basic to some, the game compensates with its rich feature set, making it a compelling choice for those seeking fast-paced, retro-inspired action.
