Xevious is a Shooter from Namco.
The Story: Its all about the fight between humankind and the supercomputer GAMP,
which controls the alien forces of planet Xevious.It turns out that the Xevious inhabitants
are originally from earth, and GAMP (General Artificial Matrix Producer) is the product of an
ancient civilization that prospered on earth an hundred thousands years ago.
During this golden age, the "Gamps" were human clones used in heavy labor,
until they rebelled to their own creators.
Fast forward to our days: all above the earth's surface, and near the ancient civilization
remains, giant artifacts suddenly emerge from the soil and activate: they are SOL towers,
buried underground and inactive for eons, now responding to GAMP's orders.
The invasion has begun: it is now that, with perfect timing, Mu, Eve and Mio Veetha, a
Xevian who opposes to the Gamp's Regime come to the rescue with their Solvalou ship.
The game has a large number of different ground and air-based targets of
either belligerent or non-belliegerent nature. In addition to the jumper-based
difficulty levels, the game also adapts its difficulty to the player. If the
player is successful against a type of attacker, an even deadlier type of
attacker shows up to challenge the player.
