About this game
Caesar advances through enemy-filled stages, firing beams and collecting power capsules. Each power level changes the attack pattern, so taking another capsule also changes how you can cover the screen. Some terrain conceals trap zones that move the ship behind it. You cannot attack or be hit while inside, making entry and exit part of the route. Stage-ending Star Brains must be attacked at their vulnerable centers.
Collected in series
Star Soldier is a space-shooter series built around weaving through enemy fire, breaking up formations and collecting upgrades for your ship. Alongside stage-clearing adventures, several entries offer short timed challenges where finding a better route and destroying targets efficiently drive the score higher.
