List Of Xevious Media
Gameplay in the series consists of controlling a spaceship named the Solvalou throughout a series of levels, shooting at enemies and avoiding their projectiles. The Solvalou has two weapons, an air zapper that destroys air-based enemies and a blaster bomb that destroys ground-based enemies. Later games introduce mechanics such as additional playable ships, power-ups, protective shields, and two-player co-operative play. Critics have labeled Xevious as one of the most important games of its kind. It is one of the first vertically scrolling shooters and among the first video games to implement bosses, pre-rendered visuals, and a cohesive world and storyline. Xevious inspired games such as Gradius, TwinBee, Zanac, and RayForce. It has had an influence on game designers such as Satoshi Tajiri and musicians like Haruomi Hosono.
