Did somebody played it? One of the best games on the genesis.
If you played it, did you liked it?
Sadly, never won on superhard mode(reached to level 18)

One of my all time favorites and arguably the best game Treasure ever made.

Yes, lots of people have played this. Not sure if best Treasure game, I think my favorite might be Sin and Punishment, but Alien Soldier could easily be the Sin and Punishment equivalent in 2D. After all, S&P's original title was going to be Glass Soldier.

I played it, it is actually quite popular in gaming boards, so people who dwell them tend to be aware, specially since it comes from Treasure.

I find the game a bit too hard later on (and I find that fucking intro even harder to follow), and I don't like the zero shift and weapon change controls because I get mixed with them in a stressful situation.
But otherwise it is a fantastic title. One of my favourite on the Genesis.

Took me 3 attempts to get past the 1st boss. Not a big fan of the controls.

Reading the intro to this game with the creepy music is like having an /x/ inspired fever dream. Shit takes me back to reading about reptilians and junk when I was twelve.

I've played this but I couldn't get used to the controls. I have a hard time using the right weapons.

Treasure in charge of making treasures.

Typical Treasure writing. Nonsensical as fuck.

Not just Treasure. Almost every Japanese studio back in the day simply didn't see the point of competent (i.e. expensive) localization for arcade like games that didn't really need a story in the first place. And engrish is fun, just play Bangai-O on the Dreamcast if you want a deliberate example of Treasure poking fun at themselves.
