A malicious parasite is devouring your planet. Your only job is to save the planet and the beautiful princess.
Abadox - Off through the inside of the monster
Abadox is one of the early space shooters. The Japanese company released the game in 1989 under the title Abadokkusu (ア バ ド ッ ク ス) for the NES. The subtitle of the side-scrolling shoot 'em up game is The Deadly Inner War. Abadox has a unique visual design as it takes place in the intestinal tract of a huge alien organism.
the story
Abadox, the protagonist's home planet, is devoured by the evil one called Parasitis. This being devours all life forms it can get and eats the universe. Second Lieutenant Nazal is the only surviving warrior in the World Alive Force. The monster was destroyed by the attackers and eaten a hospital cut, on which the beautiful Princess Maria was.
The rescue mission
Your task is to defeat the monster and save Princess Maria if she is still alive. Would you be against all kinds of organisms and monsters. Save the universe by the way!
The gameplay
Abadox is a horizontal or vertical shooter. You take control of Second Lieutenant Nazal. Protected by a space suit, armed with a jetpack, faced various enemies. Since it is inside a monster, they look like internal organs.
Arms
With the help of his weapon, you shoot your way through the bowels of the enemy. Later during the game, you will have better and more powerful weapons at your disposal. You get power-ups like shields or homing missiles, but you first had to kill some opponents. If your character dies, it loses its life, all power-ups, and appears at the last checkpoint of the level or at the beginning of the level.
the levels
Horizontal and vertical shooters alternate level by level. It is through this change that the various organs that you pass are represented. The vertical section is mainly downhill.
Conclusion
Abadox is designed very nicely. The soundtrack also stands out. Unfortunately, once the levels get harder, it's not ideal for casual gamers. The idea of a monster that wants to devour the universe is interesting because the shooter world is designed accordingly. This makes it stand out from other space shooters. It is highly recommended for shooter fans.
