Description
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.

Nothing beats Tyrian

Jets n' Guns plays a good homage, but nothing hits quite the same

Soundtrack, take my money

The soundtrack alone is worth a couple of bucks so the fact that I got this for free when signing up is just pure awesome.

So much fun for free!

I've had more fun with this free old game than with the last four or five new ones I've bought. It looks great, it's just complex enough to be engaging without requiring a lot of dedication, and the amount of little details that go into the story and the atmosphere are genuinely impressive. Thank you GOG for introducing me to this little gem!

Classic Difficulty

I like a lot of scrolling space shooters but don't get to have enough playing them to be any good at them. I love the style of this game and the intricate details in the level design is mind numbingly good. If can get past the first level with ease then you're a legend in my eyes. But all in all, this is a great game with lasting appeal and not too easy for anyone but can be extreme for most, so explore at your own risk.

We need a remake, DarkstarOne style

Amazing game, beautiful sprites and great customizing the ship, a little hard at first but you will get used to it. I had some trouble with the sound effects not playing at first or laged ,fiddled with settings restarted and worked.
