Craving some top-down shooter action? Look no further than the newly released Alien Core: Galaxy Invasion, now available on iOS. This game brings a fresh twist to the genre with its low-res aesthetic, offering all the classic features you love in a retro package.

In Alien Core, your mission is straightforward: take down the rogue AI, O-Core, which has betrayed its creators and established the Ostallian Empire. The best way to do this? Hop into your starship and blast your way through O-Core's forces.

The game adopts a low-res approach to the bullet hell genre, sending you racing through entertainingly retro spacescapes. You'll find all the staples here, including power-ups to collect, basic ship upgrades to enhance your journey, and the thrill of demolishing enemy installations in a cascade of pixels.

Shoot the core! With numerous boss battles, various ships to unlock, and the choice between arcade and story modes, Alien Core offers plenty to keep you engaged. The chain-reaction mechanic stands out, providing a satisfying experience as you blast pixels into oblivion.

While the graphics might seem a bit too basic for some, Alien Core is packed with features that make it worth exploring if you're in the mood for fast-paced retro action.
