Shoot Em Up Vertical PC INDIE Shmup Alltynex

description Alltynex Overview

Alltynex is a vertical scrolling shoot 'em up originally developed by the Japanese indie group SITER SKAIN for the PC-98 computer platform in 1996. The game distinguishes itself from standard shooters by incorporating close-range melee attacks and a shield system that deflects enemy fire. It was later remade as Alltynex Second and stands as the foundational entry in the broader Alltynex trilogy, which also includes Kamui and RefleX. The game caters specifically to players seeking complex, fast-paced indie shooting mechanics.

help Alltynex FAQ

Who developed the original Alltynex, and what platform was it made for?

The original Alltynex was developed by the Japanese indie group SITER SKAIN for the PC-98 computer platform. It dates from 1996.

What makes Alltynex different from a standard vertical shoot-em-up?

Alltynex combines shooting with close-range melee attacks, so enemies can be dealt with at very short distance. It also includes a shield system that can deflect incoming attacks.

How does the shield work in Alltynex?

The shield is a defensive tool that can turn aside enemy fire when used at the right moment. That mechanic gives the 1996 PC-98 game a more direct combat style than a shooter based only on dodging and firing.

Does Alltynex have a modern sequel?

SITER SKAIN later released ALLTYNEX Second, a Windows shoot-em-up that arrived on Steam on December 11, 2014. The Steam version is a separate modern release from the original PC-98 game.
