Abadox is a shooter game released in 1989 for the Nintendo NES. Players navigate through a series of hostile alien environments, piloting a spacecraft to eliminate enemies and obstacles. The main objective is to reach the core of a massive alien organism and destroy it from within, progressing through multiple stages filled with various enemies and hazards.
The game features a fast-paced, side-scrolling shooter experience where players must react quickly to incoming threats. A unique mechanic in Abadox is the alternating between horizontal and vertical scrolling stages, which adds variety to the gameplay. The constant shifting perspectives require players to adapt their strategy and firing patterns accordingly.
One distinctive aspect of Abadox is its setting inside a living alien body, creating an unusual and organic backdrop for a shooter. The levels are designed with biological themes, including veins and creatures resembling cells and parasites, which contribute to the game's distinctive atmosphere.
