Released by Namco in 1997, Xevious 3D-G+ brings the legendary vertical shoot ’em up franchise to the PlayStation. This comprehensive collection combines an all-new polygonal 3D installment with three arcade classics: the original Xevious, Super Xevious, and Xevious Arrangement. Players once again pilot the Solvalou starship, managing dual attacks to simultaneously destroy aerial bogeys and bombard ground installations. The 3D-G mode revitalises the classic formula with impressive 3D visuals while retaining the strict 2D gameplay plane, challenging enemy patterns, and distinctive geometric designs that define the series.
How to play: Your objective is to survive the relentless onslaught of the Xevian forces and achieve the highest score possible. You must independently manage your aerial zapper for flying enemies and your crosshair-aimed ground blaster for land targets. Use the Arrow Keys to steer the Solvalou, and the Z, X, A, and S keys to fire and drop bombs. Press Enter for Start and Shift for Select.
Tips:
- Always monitor your ground targeting reticle; many of the most dangerous threats and highest scoring opportunities (like the hidden Sol citadels) require precise bombing.
- When facing the massive Andor Genesis motherships, concentrate your bombs directly on their central core to destroy them quickly before their barrage overwhelms you.
- Never stay in one place for too long. Practice leading your targets, as enemy formations will often try to trap you in corners.
