How it feels

A chaotic blast of retro run-and-gun action that feels like a nostalgic Saturday morning arcade session.

What players say

Players compare Alien Splatter Redux to Contra and NES-era run-and-guns. It's short, easy for the first five levels, then jumps sharply in difficulty from level 6. Responsive controls, but some hate the instant death pits. A few find it generic, while others praise it as a genuine retro tribute.
