Aliens Fighting Classic Shooter

Aliens Fighting Classic Shooter is a comedic sci-fi shooter

The story of Aliens Fighting Classic Shooter puts you in control of Angus,

a redneck farmer whom wakes up in a military base with no memory of what’s happened to him,

outside of being abducted by aliens when he was practicing with his trusty shotgun.

Upon escaping from the base with the help of an alien princess and a leader of the military,

he is made aware that aliens are trying to invade the Earth.

In light of this,

he is sent information by the military leader and the princess to aid him in fighting the aliens and the humans they’ve turned into zombies.

This story isn’t an award-winning tale and the translation definitely has some issues,

such as incorrect word usage and some noticeable grammar issues.

Otherwise, it’s a somewhat comical scenario for this type of game.

You play as Angus, not as much of a wisecracker as Mr. Steakfries,

but equally adept at using weaponry.

He wakes up inside an alien spaceship and is quickly directed by a friendly lady alien to get up and get out of the spaceship.

As he leaves it, he enters a military base where he gains another adviser, an army general.

While Zombies was more of an arena shooter, Alien Fighting Classic Shooter is more a scrolling shooter.

I would say “run and gun,” but Angus sort of shuffles along at a slow pace, only slightly faster than the enemies he’s fighting.

You move Angus with the analog nub (or stick on the Vita) and fire using the shoulder buttons—either simply left or right,

and as such, most of the gameplay has you moving Angus horizontally from one end of the screen to the other.

Unlike a lot of game characters, Angus can’t carry everything and the kitchen sink.

He is limited to 9 slots, which include weapons, ammo (in groups of 100), med-kits and other things.

You access these items either by going into the inventory menu or, once you’ve set things up there,

quickly by tapping the D-pad in the appropriate direction.

Occasionally there is a shop where you can buy more items or upgrade your weapons, paying with coins that the zombies drop.

Besides the usual assortment of guns, Angus can wield a flamethrower, which is pretty neat, and some others, 14 types of weapons in all.
