Unit Down Charge

26.09.2025
A futuristic action rail-shooter! Action packed, and full of quirky character dialogues, unique level designs, and epic boss battles!
Due to depleting resources, toxic planet surface, and the threat of extraterrestrial beings, all the nations of Earth combined to create a central government; The Earth Unit. While working under this new government, a brilliant scientist by the name of Dr. Aura discovered DNA of animals that once populated the planet... animals long extinct, such as dogs and cats. Using this DNA, he created genetically modified animal soldiers, called Bio-Units, to defend the planet from external threats. However, Dr. Aura's ego began to grow out of his control, and though time, became a tyrant ruling over his own creations. He overthrew the Earth Unit and took over as it's new ruler, using his Bio-Units as his army. Over time, these Bio-Units began to show their disapproval of Dr. Aura's actions, some even going as far as betraying the Earth Unit and running away, unwilling to participate in his tyrannical actions. Lars, a carefree and over-confident fighter, Kit, a softhearted mechanic, Deon, an arrogant ex-soldier, and Garrison, their strict team captain, teamed up and challenged Dr. Aura to put a stop to his dictatorship. After a strongly fought battle against his armies, the 4 of them succeeded in overthrowing Dr. Aura, and upon his defeat, took over the Earth Unit. Garrison, the team's captain, became the new head of the planet, and began to restore the relations between Bio-Units and the people of Earth. Peace became a reality, and a new era in Earth's history was beginning. However, word of Dr. Aura being sighted recently has caught the attention of Garrison, Lars, Kit, and Deon. It was under everyone's understanding that Dr. Aura was dead, defeated in battle years ago. Surely, he could not still be alive.

Terra Lander pays homage to the classic early days of arcade retro gaming. Navigate the player to the landing pad through twenty increasingly difficult levels within the time limit and whilst managing limited fuel resources. Movement or firing uses up fuel, though levels can be replenished by shooting the fuel dumps. Running out of fuel means you loose control and can't fire. If all fuel dumps are destroyed on any given level the player's fuel tank capacity is doubled for the next. Avoid the moving doors and increasingly fiendish enemies. Find the switches for the doors that block your way.

The basic gameplay is simple: progress through the levels in the spacecraft, collecting powerups and protecting the spacecraft from destruction. The game has very obvious similarities in design and gameplay to R-Type. It is actually believed that some ex-Irem employees left the company to join Aicom, which used to be a subcontractor for various coin-op manufacturers like Jaleco or SNK. Despite the familiarities, Pulstar is not without innovations. There is the option of using the weapon power bar, which consists of two halves. The right-hand side of the bar turns blue when the fire button is depressed. When fully charged the ship delivers a devastating emission of energy. The left-hand side turns red when it is continually pressed, shooting out a barrage of smaller, rapid blasts. The in-game visuals are mostly pre-rendered 3D graphics, which gives the interactive elements a far more realistic appearance. Great care was taken to really place the player into the world of the game, with cinematic style cut scenes and pre-rendered movies. There is a hefty reliance on strategy and not just blasting everything in sight. Using the charged weapon is key, and requires careful precision. Also, once a power up is obtained, a small orb appears at the posterior end of the ship. This can be used as an advantage by deflecting/absorbing oncoming enemy fire and taking out small enemies that run into it.
