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.

[h1] Beggar of Alpha Centauri. You see the title and start the game with hope of something decent, but then you realize it's more like a p00p in your pants. Fight on different planets keeping all triggers and bumpers (shoulder buttons) on your controller pressed to maximize firepower. Activate drones for even more damage. Each level offers a bit different challenge and various enemies. Formations of spaceships, nothing amazing really. Everything have health bar even asteroids. Backgrounds are nice showing some 3D planet or sun. Music is ok. Controls working good. What to say? Play or leave it as space garbage. [/h1]8 found this helpful
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 discount1 found this helpful
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.
Boring
Duke of Alpha Centauri is a straightforward but energetic top-down space shooter that embraces arcade simplicity while offering just enough progression to keep players engaged run after run. Developed by EGAMER and published by SA Industry, the game wastes no time throwing you into the thick of cosmic firefights. There is no elaborate lore, no prolonged build-up — just you, a small but upgradeable starship, and an ever-increasing swarm of alien vessels determined to overwhelm you. This focus on immediate action defines the game’s identity. Every session begins with modest firepower and limited defenses, but the pacing escalates quickly as enemy formations tighten, projectile patterns grow more aggressive, and the screen fills with trails of plasma, bullets, and missile smoke. The core gameplay loop is built around fast reflexes and gradual ship improvement. As you destroy enemies, you earn points and unlock upgrade opportunities that directly enhance your survivability and offensive capabilities. Even small improvements — a faster-recharging shield, a slight hull boost, or a more efficient energy system — can make a noticeable difference in the intensity of the battles. Over time,…
