Silpheed Alternative: Menace from Beyond the Stars

Silpheed Alternative is an Android exclusive entry to the Silpheed series. Like the 2007 Xbox 360 exclusive Project Sylpheed it is a third person dogfighting game rather than a vertical scrolling shooter like the original games.

Largely retelling the story from the SEGA CD game, Silpheed Alternative puts the player in control of a small space fighter, part of the Gungnir Squadron, stationed on the United Earth Command carrier ship Asgard, as it tries to retreat towards Earth controlled territory after an surprise attack from an unknown alien species.

Miscellaneous

The game has been updated to utilize the physical controls of the Xperia Play series of handsets. The Japanese and English versions have also been folded into both regional releases of the game.
