About this game

Xevious is a shooter released by Namco in 1982. Players pilot the Solvalou and face off with the Xevious forces. Defeat airborne enemies with the zapper, and terrestrial enemies with the blaster. This game also features 26 character types with their own codenames.

It's a nightmare, but it's true! Research shows that we are the actual aliens on Earth, and the ruthless Xevions are the original inhabitants. Now the Xevions want Earth back -- minus humans! Their invasion forces are fierce -- the land is crawling with deadly Domogram Rovers; the sky is black with Toroid Patrol Fleets and Zoshi Death Squads. Our puny weapons offer no defense. Earth's only hope is our powerful new Solvalou Fighter Plane. Its pilot will have a single mission: Penetrate the enemy ranks and destroy the Xevious Mother Ship. The mission is dangerous. We can't guarantee success. But at this point, it's do or die! One small problem. We still need a pilot. Any volunteers?

The game begins with Solvalou fighters flying over the Xevious enemy territory. You are controlling Solvalou with its anti-aircraft missiles and surface bombs. Your goal is to destroy the enemy and proceed on your mission.
