Battle Unit Zeoth

Moby ID: 60354

Description

Battle Unit Zeoth is a 2D futuristic side-scrolling shooter. Humanity is in danger - a race of alien robots known as the "Grein" invaded the Solar System. They lost and fled, but left behind an underground base with self-replicating Grein machines. Two years after the invasion aliens attack again. However, the humans have made a special mech, Zeoth, designed for combat.

Player controls Zeoth who can move to the right and shoot enemies. The odd-numbered stages are horizontal scrolling stages and the even-numbered stages are a simple "platform" stages. Each stage ends in a boss fight. Zeoth can fly with a jetpack (but the player must tap a button to resist gravity) and can fire in four directions (right, left, down and up). The basic weapons can be improved. The mech can take some damage before being destroyed and has just one life, however, there are unlimited continues.

A bit short, decent game play, great soundtrack

The Good
The gameplay is good. It's a bit of a cross-between a run-and-gun and a SHMUP, but not so bad to be a bullet-hell. You can fire in all four directions. The music is top-notch for the Gameboy.

The Bad
There's only five levels. No battery back-up to retain tops scores.

The Bottom Line
While there's only five levels, the gameplay and music are enjoyable. The scoreboard and power-ups are retained after beating the final boss, so there's some incentive to see how many times you can cycle through to rack up a top score.
