Xeno Strikers Hyper Squadron is a shoot-'em-up in which you pilot a ship to repel an alien attack and drive the invading forces out of the solar system. You fight through five themed stages with increasingly difficult enemies, choosing from nine captains who start with different upgrades. Eight captains must be unlocked by playing.

Stages

The five stages each have a separate theme, and enemies grow more difficult as you progress:

• Forest: face enemies in a forest.
• Ice: fight across a frozen tundra.
• Desert: battle in a hot, inhospitable region.
• Tropical: take on aliens on tropical islands.
• City: make a final stand against the most powerful enemies, who gather in the city.

Weapons

You can unlock and upgrade six weapons:

• Blaster: fires projectiles straight ahead; upgrades let it fire twice, pierce enemy shields and slow enemies.
• Burst: a rapid-fire machine gun; upgrades let it fire massive waves and stun enemies.
• Laser: instantly zaps the closest enemy; upgrades let it chain across several enemies and set them on fire.
• Spheres: plasma spheres orbit your ship; upgrades let them stun enemies and knock them out of the skies one after another.
• Pulse: sends a shockwave out from your ship; upgrades expand its area and slow enemies.
• Missiles: launch from the side of your ship; upgrades add splash damage, stuns and the ability to set enemies on fire.

Captains and difficulty

The nine captains begin with varying upgrades, and eight are unlocked through play. The game has 12 difficulty levels that unlock progressively.

Soundtrack
