DESCRIPTION

Xardion is a platform shooter starring three alien robots, each possessing distinct strengths and weaknesses. In addition to the option to switch between characters to take advantage of certain attributes, Xardion is notable for including an experience system similar to a role-playing game. Defeating enemies earns the active robot points that will gradually increase its life and ammo gauges as well as unlock new special techniques. Each robot can also acquire and store power-ups to use whenever the need arises. Featured items include missiles, time bombs, health, ammo, and the ability to save at any point. Eliminate threats on four planets and a spaceship, spanning a total of nine levels, to save the galaxy and win the game. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
