PLAYER

The Player has two different types of weapons: mechanical (bullets and missiles) and energy weapons (plasma bullets and lasers). They are powered from different power sources so keep in mind to upgrade them both. Missiles and lasers are activated when the player targets enemies with an auto guided system. You can change your target at any time.
Besides weapons, the player has 2 more ship abilities: holoemiters and system overload. Holoemiters are used to boost your damage and projecting 3 or 5 holodrones, so that you can damage enemies more quickly. System overload is a technology that combines nanorobots and high temperature plasma reactions to recharge shields, weapons power supply or to repair your ship's hull.
Your ship has a defense shield installed. If it fails, be careful that you don't get critical hull breach, because your reactor core will explode and destroy your ship.

ENEMIES

Duke of Alpha Centuri has 13 different enemies, each one with 3 different styles which gives them a complete diversity.
Enemies are equipped with different types of weapons (plasma weapons, photon weapons, lasers, missiles) and some of them have cloaking technology, so be careful when they appear.
Bosses are quite unique and use all kinds of foul tricks to destroy the player. You will encounter some asteroids.
Be careful when flying near them because your shields can't block them, so they will hit you directly.

Not recommended Sep 5, 2026
Very short and repetitive game, the achievements are for doing almost every action in the game so nothing too hard. It's definitely not worth 30€. If you want an easy 100% go for It, but other than that stay away.

personally i dont have much to say since this game doesnt offer much except suprisingly decent graphics and fire ost that doesnt suit the game at all. only important thing to say about the game is that its not worth the full price. before buying it the best thing to do is wait for a discount

Reminds me of 'ye olden' times, when I played games like this on my C64, although those were harder :) Definitely not worth its current full price (~30EUR), I'd recommend it on a 80% discount (at least). My playtime is what it took me to 100% it, playing on medium, which is too easy - at later levels I stopped moving, still won...

6/10 - An easy, little shoot 'em up with skill system.

too fun for 1.30$

wheres the inbetween button!! This is something you should only pay a quarter for at most! PSA: I got no recolection of playing this game so I got no clue if I actually enjoyed my time with it or used it as an easy 100% back in the day.
