Alien Storm is a 1991 fighting game released for the Sega Mega Drive. In this game, players control a team of three characters tasked with defending Earth from an alien invasion. The main objective involves battling hordes of extraterrestrial enemies across various urban environments, using both melee attacks and special weapons to clear stages.
The pace of Alien Storm is fast and action-oriented, combining side-scrolling beat ’em up elements with shooting mechanics. A unique feature of this Sega Mega Drive game is the ability to switch between characters mid-level, each with distinct fighting styles and weaponry, which adds strategic depth to the gameplay. This mechanic encourages players to adapt tactics depending on the enemy types and situations encountered.
One unusual idea in Alien Storm is the inclusion of cooperative multiplayer, allowing two players to team up and fight alien threats simultaneously. The game’s distinctive blend of fighting and shooting action, along with its sci-fi theme, sets it apart within the early '90s Sega Mega Drive library.
