Battlantis is a classic fixed-shooter arcade game released by Konami in 1987. Often compared to Space Invaders and Galaga, the game puts you in the role of King Cripeuss III, tasked with defending a castle at the bottom of the screen from relentless waves of descending monsters. This specific version is “Program Code G,” a widely preserved ROM revision of the original arcade software.
How to Play
Your objective is to destroy the enemy forces before they can reach your castle walls. The game spans 16 challenging stages featuring various enemy formations and attack patterns. Move your character left and right to dodge incoming attacks while firing upward to eliminate the invaders.
Controls: Use the Arrow Keys to move and Z or X to fire.
Tips
- Target the special “ark-carrying” monsters. Destroying them drops valuable power-ups that can grant you better weapons, speed boosts, or improved defensive capabilities.
- Prioritize enemies that break formation to charge at you, as they pose an immediate threat to your defenses.
