Pilot the Transom mecha in Aurail, an arcade shoot ’em up developed by Westone and released by Sega in 1990. The game blends multidirectional run-and-gun combat with first-person tunnel sequences. You command a walking tank armed with an eight-way cannon and a shield, battling through waves of enemies and tough boss encounters.
How to Play
The objective is to survive each stage by destroying enemies and navigating past hazards. The game switches between top-down run-and-gun segments and first-person tunnel sequences. Use the arrow keys to move and aim, press Shift to insert coins, and Enter to start. Use Z to fire and X for secondary actions. By holding the fire button, your tank anchors in place and functions as a rotating turret, letting you sweep the area in all eight directions.
Tips
- Collect “D” power-ups to summon a drone that follows your mecha and attacks nearby enemies.
- Destroy enemies quickly to gather energy blocks, which replenish your shield and keep you alive during difficult encounters.
- Use the stationary turret mode to safely clear out dense waves of enemies before advancing.
