That’s all there is to the game.Ĭredit given to Bateuau ( ) - Path -S>- Secret level EPISODE 1: Tyrian | |-S>-Bubbles. Then you customize your ship some more and play more levels. You play levels where money drops (which you keep only if you complete the level). This game can be extremely difficult as the game progresses. I recommend starting on ‘easy’ and maybe even ‘slow’. Here is a sample of some of Tyrian 2000’s excellent soundtrack. With branching paths, different difficulties, different speeds, co-op mode, and with various ways to customize your ship, no playthrough of Tyrian 2000 is ever exactly the same.Ībove: So many different ships and options to choose from… The re-playability of Tyrian 2000 is absurd. Running into large ships are the only thing that can quickly destroy you. So you can take hits, run into enemy ships, but you can’t do it too much for too long. You have shields which regenerate if you do not get hit after a while. Tyrian 2000 is refreshing from other shmups because it is not a ‘one hit and you die’ type game. ![]() What is more interesting is the main mode which allows the customization, looking at the data nodes you pick up, and so on.Ībove: Crisp and colorful graphics makes Tyrian 2000 age well. There is an arcade mode which performs as it sounds. You can alternate between one or two players, play on three different difficulties, alter how fast the game is, choose your levels from branching paths, and customize your ship. Tyrian 2000 is unique in its plushness of options and how content rich the main game is. Tyrian 2000 is an overhead shmup (such as Xevious or Zanac). I even got my Mayflash adapter Mayflash controller to work natively. Tyrian 2000 uses every controller configuration you could want. This game is multiplayer on a single computer. Since it uses DOSbox, a simple script might be needed for Linux use. This game runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Replayability is given due to the different arrangement of weapons and ships a player can choose.Ībove: This game has an incredible soundtrack.Ībove: This game is designed to be very challenging.Ībove: This game has co-op mode with two people playing simultaneously.Ībove: This game can double as an arcade game (it actually has an arcade mode). But what makes it so playable is that your ship doesn’t die in one hit. ![]() ![]() Solid arcade action, excellent music and sound effects, and good difficulty makes Tyrian 2000 a classic. VERDICT: While offered free online and at GOG, Tyrian 2000 is one of the best space shooters (shmups) made with nothing remotely like it.
