And you thought being a Terraforming Engineer would be a quiet life compared to being a Space Marine? Blasting rocks to make way for new settlements on Tyrian seemed like a quiet life, but your long-time Huzundra friend is now dead - bless his lizard hide. Murdered! And obviously Microsol, the Terraforming company wants you dead too! It's that huge new rock formation you and Buce uncovered - it's Gravitium, and it's priceless. Tyrian is the only planet where it exists in commercial quantities, and Microsol are determined to control it. You can expect them to throw all their resources against you - and they won't pull any punches.

is it realy good

On one hand the game is really nice and bring out those memories of old shooter but to tell the truth if it was not free I think I would regret buying it because although it is old and should be hard core, from the second chapter your ship is so buffed that, and I am really serious now, I was playing it with a book put on the space (space is the fire button) and just some time evading bullets crashing through the game like a boss practically being invincible. But there are also some nice game mechanics like during some boss fights your view changes from bottom to top and the upgrading of your ship is also really nice but like I said before it's not balanced really good.

One of the best shooters from the era

Vertical shooter with: Upgradable ships 2 player co-op Can be played with gamepad, mouse or keyboard Tons of levels divided in 5 chapters Since this is free, it is a must for any shut em up retro fan.

Great Vertical Scrolling Shooter

Tyrian 2000 is a vertical scrolling shooter (like Galaga) and it is great. The gameplay is fun, the controls are great, the soundtrack is fun to listen to, the ship customization is fun, it is one of the best vertical scrolling shooters I've played. Plus, it's free.
