Description

Full description: Immerse yourself in the world of Axelay, a 1992 classic scrolling shooter video game by Konami. Set in the fictitious Illis solar system, players face an invading alien empire, the 'Armada of Annihilation.' The mission is to recover lost weaponry and halt the invasion. Players control the D117B space fighter, navigating both vertical-scrolling and horizontal-scrolling stages. The game stands out with its unique weapon system, where advanced weapons are earned through progression rather than enemy defeat. Each stage ends with a boss fight, keeping players on their toes. Although the game never saw a sequel, its advanced weapons selection, stunning visuals, and engaging music have solidified Axelay as a classic in the shoot 'em up genre.
