Craving some top-down shooter action? Look no further than the newly launched *Alien Core: Galaxy Invasion*, now available on iOS. This game dives into the well-trodden genre but with a twist that might just pull you in for more.
In *Alien Core*, your mission is straightforward yet thrilling: take down the rogue AI, O-Core, which has betrayed its creators and established the Ostallian Empire. The best way to achieve this? Hop into your starship and blast your way through O-Core's forces.
The game adopts a charmingly low-res approach to the bullet hell genre, whisking you through entertainingly retro spacescapes. It packs all the classic features you'd expect, including power-ups to grab, basic yet effective ship upgrades, and the sheer joy of demolishing enemy installations in a cascade of pixels.
**Shoot the core!** With a variety of boss battles, multiple ships to unlock, and the choice between arcade and story mode, *Alien Core* offers plenty to keep you engaged. The standout feature is the chain-reaction mechanic, which adds a satisfyingly primal element to the gameplay as you watch pixels explode.
While the graphics might seem a bit too basic for some, *Alien Core* is packed with features that cater to fans of fast-paced retro action. If you're hesitant, consider giving it a try—it might just surprise you with its depth and fun.
