Axelay (SNES) Gameplay
Axelay is a 1992 scrolling shooter game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The game was published and developed by Konami. The game was very well received by critics who praised the games story and selection of weapons.
The gameplay of Axelay follows the traditional 2D scrolling shooters seen from many games however, instead of the power collecting power ups from defeating enemies, the player earns weapons as they progress through the game. Players are given three kinds of weapons at the start of each level (Special weapon, standard weapon and missile or bomb) and can switch them during game play. These weapons can be modified at the end of each level.
The game takes place in a planetary system which is called Illis and this peaceful place was invaded by an alien empires. This alien empire is called the Armada of Annihilation and their goal is to take over the planets of the Illis system which include the Earth like Corliss. As the last option of defense against the alien forces, the D117B Axelay fighter is deployed to recover its lost weaponry and put an end to the alien invasion before it is too late.
