Description
Namco shoot them up compilation, gathering classic Xevious shooters and the new 3D episode. Created by Namco, released in 1996 in Japan, 1997 in the United States and Europe under the Xevious 3D G+ title. Compilation of Xevious, Super Xevious, Xevious Arrangement, Solvalou and new Xevious 3D G, classic 2D vertical scrolling and 3D perspective for the new episode, two-player cooperative mode and chiptune-and-synth soundtrack. Multi-regional edition under the Xevious 3D G+ title.
A 3D reworking of Namco's legendary vertical shooter, Xevious 3D-G+ modernises the visuals of the arcade classic while keeping the ground-air dual fire that marked the genre's history. The retro futuristic mood, the readability and the joy of pounding the Andor fortresses stay intact, and the compilation includes several series variations. The old fashioned difficulty and a stripped down concept can feel austere. A heritage shmup for fans of retro vertical shooting and of Namco's history.
