Toki no Senshi: Chrono Soldier is a vertical scrolling run-and-gun arcade game developed by EXA Planning and released by Sega in 1987. Unlike typical military shooters of its era, you control a robot character that does not rely on a standard gun. Instead, your primary attack is a short-range energy wave generated by a punch, giving the game a distinct feel compared to its contemporaries.
How to Play
Guide your robot through the vertically scrolling stages, defeating enemies and avoiding incoming fire. Use the joystick (mapped to arrow keys in the browser) to move in eight directions. Your primary attack (Z) unleashes a short-range energy wave, while your secondary attack (X) throws a grenade for long-distance targets. Grenades are in limited supply, so you must use them carefully.
Tips
- Because your primary attack has such short range, mastering the timing to safely close the distance to enemies is crucial for survival.
- Conserve your grenades for situations where enemies are unreachable or when you need to clear a dangerous path from a distance.
