The Guardian Legend
About the Game
In the far future, Earth is a peaceful place with very few worries. To ensure it stays that way, a top secret project was authorized: the creation of the guardian suit. It's a suit of flight armor that allows the guardian to survive any environment. It's a good thing too, because a giant space station is spotted on a collision course with Earth.
Gameplay & Core Systems
As you travel through the station NAJU, you'll find increased armor and better weapons to help you defeat waves of enemies. There's also a hidden mode that allows you to play the game in Arcade fashion - only autoscrolling overhead shooting levels, without the on-foot part. New weapons and upgrades are automatically awarded after each level depending on players' total score.
Modes & Ways to Play
Player support includes 1 Player.
