Tyrian's complete arsenal amound to over a dozen type of ships and over 100 weapon types! It features a multi-layered ship upgrade engine, in which you can change hulls, decide upon and upgrade your front and rear weapons, buy better shields and generators and even add ship 'sidekicks'. Tyrian also has two player arcade mode and supports network/modem/serial play. Through your struggles, you will find yourself again and again betrayed by friends and allies, your parents will be killed and you will have to return to points you've already been to (with variations on the levels) in order to remove further threats to the galaxy and to yourself, all for the ultimate goal of overthrowing MicroSol. Again and again, Trent must fight off MicroSol, a company with the evil intent of taking over the galaxy. You play the role of Trent Hawkings, this galaxy's ace solo fighter-pilot, whose luck forces him to save the galaxy, one time after another. It gained a following even larger than the classic Raptor: Call of the Shadows, and rightfully so: it has a plot. Tyrian is nothing like your run-of-the-mill shoot-'em-up. It also adds another option called 'Timed Battle'. It is essentially the same game with an additional new episode (Hazudra Fodder), a revised engine (less bugs and better controls) and added Windows support. ![]() Tyrian 2000 is a direct re-release of the original action smash, Tyrian.

Some will use the mouse, "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".Game is controlled by the same keys that are used to playing under MS DOS. The bonus levels in Episode 1 and 2 were meant as a tribute to Galaxian or Galaga, where there are large formations of enemy ships that gradually break off one by one to attack the player.Įach game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Tyrian was a departure from the prevalent "serious" style of shooters like Raptor and Aero Fighter, due to the cartoon-like artwork and the abundance of silly (or at least strange) dialogue and content. Tyrian also features an Arcade Mode which has characteristics from coin-op arcade shooters, such as in-game powerups and extra lives. Tyrian's Full Game mode features a credit and equipment-buying system, and the shield/armor hit points which are similar to game mechanics in Raptor: Call of the Shadows, another PC game from the same period. A peculiar feature of Tyrian is that it is very forgiving of enemy hits: before the player's starship is destroyed it must take enough damage to exhaust several points of shields and armor (the difference is that shields regenerate during play while armor is recovered only with set powerups and between levels). The game is mostly fast-paced but easily memorizable and it presents a variety of enemies (some flying, some fixed, some on rails) and bosses, with many occurrences of fixed and/or indestructible obstacles. The player controls a space ship fitted with different weapons (front and back, linked to the same button, and up to two external pods with their own buttons) and other equipment. Tyrian is an arcade-style vertical scrolling shooter.
