Super Aleste, called Space Megaforce in North America, sends a lone fighter against a massive invading presence. Its vertically scrolling stages make room for a broad arsenal rather than one favored gun with a few minor variations. Numbered pickups select eight weapon types, and collecting power upgrades changes how much space they can control.
A separate shot control function alters their behavior, encouraging you to understand each tool beyond its first burst of fire. Losing strength makes survival a way of protecting future damage output. Large formations and shifting scenery keep the pace active, while a good weapon choice can make a crowded section suddenly readable.
