You can do this both on the fly and at the start of every wave. So, to even the odds up a little, X-Morph isn’t just a scrolling shooter it’s also a tower defence game.īy switching your ship to ghost mode – which effectively cloaks you, makes you untargetable and lets you move through solid objects – you can have a go at placing turrets. But you’d be doomed if you tried to take on the entire army on your own they have you hugely outnumbered and have the potential to overwhelm you effortlessly. You can flip between simple laser blasts that zero in on any target, or try more specialised kits for specific threats, like using guided missiles to take out fighter jets, or dropping bombs on pesky tank conveys. Your ship can scroll through several different types of weaponry, with new options unlocking as the game progresses. You’re pretty well equipped to deal with a lot of what’s thrown at you. Attack helicopters, APCs, hulking tanks, mech walkers, stealth bombers – as humanity’s desperation mounts, hardier forces are dispatched in greater numbers. And so it’s your job to stop humans from saving their planet, as they throw increasingly varied military options at you. They hadn’t really considered humanity a threat they casually note that there seems to be intelligent life upon the arrival of their first core, and bring you online to deal with it. Looking to harvest Earth’s natural resources, the aliens dispatch massive harvester drills to bore into the planet and suck away everything of worth. Rather than take up the obligatory lone-fighter-versus-alien-invasion route, it flips the script and has you become a floating alien conscience that’s transferred to various extraterrestrial invasion sites. Used to be I could just tell you a release like X-Morph was a scrolling shooter, and it would still be a pretty cool time.
