Released in 1984 by Seibu Denshi, Scion is a vertical-scrolling arcade shoot ’em up that tasks you with rescuing your captured kin from the core of Crystal Heaven, a sprawling supercity. You pilot a spaceship, fighting off aerial enemies while simultaneously bombing ground structures to break through the city’s layers and descend deeper into enemy territory.
How to Play
Your goal is to survive the enemy onslaught and blast through barriers to reach the next layer of the city. Use the Arrow keys to move your ship. Press Z and X to fire at airborne enemies and bomb ground targets. Use Shift to insert a coin and Enter to start the game.
Tips
- Prioritize destroying ground barriers, as breaking through them is the only way to advance to the next stage.
- Don’t just focus on the air; actively manage both your aerial shots and ground bombs, as threats will swarm from both planes.
