The briefing

About this game

Eagle Empire is a side-view, full-screen shooter inspired by the arcade game Phoenix. Players battle through waves of aliens that swoop down from the top of the screen while avoiding enemy fire and collisions.

After destroying four waves, the player faces a huge ship and must blast away its shield to defeat the alien inside. Completing the encounter restarts the game with faster aliens and more frequent attacks. The two-player mode takes turns, with the other player taking over when a life is lost.
