The briefing

About this game

Classic Axiens puts a twist on the familiar space-invasion formula. Instead of remaining in formation, the aliens swoop down toward the player, sometimes attacking several at once and filling the screen with bullets.

The player can move the ship left and right while firing, with bullets that align themselves to the ship’s movement. Inspired by Galaxian, the game was released in 1986 for Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum.
