Leviathan Starblade is a vertical scrolling shmups (shoot’em up), but along with the standard forward facing guns each player ship also comes equipped with a turret. This turret can fire or swing your Starblade in any direction. The Starblade can be used to cut down most enemy projectiles. Switch between guns and blades to combat your enemies, but you can’t activate both at once. Use your weapons wisely because if you let too many enemies slip past then you lose the mission. While using the Starblade might keep you from getting hit, it will also stop you from shooting down the aliens who are trying to invade the earth. Choose your weapons and tactics wisely.
