About Star Soldier

Star Soldier is a single player vertical scrolling shooter. The player controls the Caesar starfighter on a mission to infiltrate a space station.

This station is under the control of Starbrain, a destructive super computer threatening the Galactic Empire. The environment is defended by various hostile forces, including enemy spacecraft and robotic entities.

Progression through the arcade style stages involves collecting weapon upgrades for the Caesar. These power ups are found during the journey and improve the ship's capabilities for the challenging mission ahead.
