How it plays
How does Alien Storm play?
The main stages use a side-on perspective. Players move through scrolling environments, defeat alien groups with melee attacks or ranged weapons, collect power-ups, and reach the stage boss. The campaign contains several playable characters and supports one- or two-player cooperative play.
Interspersed shooting sections switch to a first-person viewpoint. Players aim at aliens and environmental targets while managing limited attack opportunities. Progression is stage-based rather than experience-driven, and success depends on positioning, weapon use, and conserving special attacks.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Alien Storm?
Use the edges of the screen to control enemy approach, then attack groups before they surround you. Jump over crowded formations and reserve special attacks for dense waves or bosses.
In two-player games, avoid striking the same target from opposite sides unless it is already stunned. During shooting stages, fire deliberately and prioritize enemies that are closest to attacking or leaving the screen.
