Xevious resurrection i update#
ReceptionĬhris Roper of IGN said that the game was a good and fun update to the original Xevious arcade game, although claimed that a sequel game would have made for a better idea than a remake. Alongside Essentials, it was delisted from the PlayStation Store on March 15, 2018. The game was programmed by Japanese developer Cattle Call, and was created to remake the core Xevious gameplay for a modern shoot'em up audience. It was released exclusively as part of the arcade compilation Namco Museum Essentials, which also includes the original Xevious, Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig Dug and Dragon Spirit. Xevious Resurrection was published by Namco Bandai Games for the PlayStation 3 on Januin Japan, Jin North America, and Apin Europe.

Players can earn stamps by completing certain in-game objectives, unlocking special items for their PlayStation Home digital apartment. Bombing pre-determined spots on the ground in some areas can reveal Sol towers, which can be destroyed for extra points, and Rally-X Special Flags that will award the player an extra life when collected. Some areas feature bosses that the player must defeat in order to progress, one being a rematch with the Andor Genesis mothership from the first Xevious game. The game is composed of several stages, referred in-game as "areas", consisting of outer space, forests, deserts featuring the Nazca lines from Peru, and mechanical bases, similar to Solvalou and Xevious 3D/G. Using the shield depletes a potion of the "shield meter" at the sides of the screen, which can be refilled by collected orange triangular-shaped pickups dropped by certain enemies. New to this game is a shield system that the Solvalou can use to protect themselves from enemy projectiles for a short period of time. The Solvalou have two weapons at their disposal: an "air zapper" that can destroy flying enemies, and a "blaster bomb" that can destroy ground-stationed enemies. Up to two players control their respective Solvalou starships - white for player one and black for player two - and must wipe out the Xevious forces and their supercomputer leader GAMP before they take over Earth. Xevious Resurrection is a vertical-scrolling shooter video game, serving as a modern update of the original Xevious arcade game.
