Xelan Force

Xelan Force is an 8-bit-style vertical scrolling shooting game. You pilot an aircraft through a retro presentation with limited colors and sound modeled on the FC machine. Its P・L・S (Pilot Level Score) system adjusts the difficulty to your skill: as difficulty rises, so does the score increase rate.

Story

The inhabitants of the planet Zelan face extinction from resource depletion and climate change, and begin plans to develop and colonize other planets. Ships departing from Zelan then start disappearing. Communication records reveal that the disappearances are caused by an invasion by Alien Muldark, whose forces eventually seize Zelan’s satellite base.

Most of the regular army, Zeran Force, has left the planet to protect the pioneer fleet. The remaining troops face Muldark’s forces but suffer a devastating defeat. Injured and away from his mission, pilot Levi Kuzier boards the under-development aircraft Riserion and heads into space alone to retake the occupied satellite base.

Modes and scoring

Caravan mode lets you challenge your high score. The game’s play can shift between offensive and defensive styles, and you can search for hidden items.
