MagMax
About the Game
An alien menace has attacked the worlds of civilization and laid waste to their planets. However, before being conquered, a group of scientists has managed to create one last weapon and hide it underground. The name of the weapon is Mag Max and only it might be able to defeat the alien invaders. Mag Max however is incomplete and for security reasons, his component parts are scattered across the land.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Mag Max is a side-scrolling shooter game. At the beginning, Mag Max is only a tiny little fighter craft that can fire low-powered projectiles. Once in the underworld, Mag Max's weapons vary slightly as do the enemies (there are no stationary objects underground). At the end of each level awaits a boss creature.
Standout Features
- The underworld can be accessed through small dark craters on the landscape.
Modes & Ways to Play
Player support includes Hot Seat and 1-2 Players.
