Tap shoot to turn projectiles into health, zip dash whenever a boss comes near you, and take 2x lancer and 2x flamethrower.

Congrats, you can now easily no-miss Alien Soldier.

Alien Soldier. I see it as the peak of 2D sidescrollers.

>> No.4576454

>>4576447
It's a run and gun, though. Pretty different from stuff with platforming, autoscrolling shoot 'em ups, beat 'em ups, etc.
If you consider that to be the best 2D sidescroller period then lol

>> No.4576464

>>4576454
I should've specified. It's certainly the best run and gun I've ever played, and better than any 2D action/platformer game.

>> No.4576475

>>4576464
Best run and gun I can see. There's not much platforming in Alien Soldier at all though, so that may be just you not enjoying platforming.

>> No.4576490

>>4576475
I've never seen a platformer that pushed the genre to its limits like Alien Soldier does for run and gun games, so from a quality perspective it's better than any 2D platformer.

>> No.4576498

>>4576490
I'm not too much into platformers to refute your argument. Still, it seems a bit weird to mention platformers at all here.

How does the XBox version stack up to the Saturn one anyways in terms of gameplay? Is the original still the best version, or mostly there for collector's value/purist experience nowadays?

The sequel's even better

XBLA version lets you skip cutscenes so for that alone it's worth it.

Irrelevant, the topic is Treasure games and you picked a great one.

Do you realize GH can also mean Gunstar Heroes, a game that can also be played co-op? The irony, anon.

>> No.4579770

>>4579559
I don't know why people love Gunstar so much. Sure, the forest, tunnel, and airship stages are fine, but Dice Palace is shit, the stage after the first 4 drags on too long, the shmup stage is also shit, and then the game turns into a boss rush and rehashes the past bosses. It's frankly not that good of a game. Alien Soldier fixes all its problems.
