Info About Brave Soldier – Invasion of Cybrog
Launching the game reveals a yellow start option. Press enter to begin and use the arrows to move around menus. The welcome screen lets me change volume, check controls or view credits. I press backspace or the B button on my controller to return to the main menu. The game remembers which stages I beat and how many coins I’ve collected.
On a keyboard I move with the arrows, jump ropes with up and down and fire with space. With a controller I use the pad to move. I press A to release ropes and X to shoot. The level map highlights new stages in green and marks cleared ones with a checkmark. Health, current stage and score sit at the top of the screen. I face three cyborg types in the first fourteen stages. Each acts differently. I fire four or five shots or hit barrels to clear them. I watch rope moves carefully because one strike means a fall.
The skull boss demands over a hundred hits to defeat. Amber eyes trigger a vine climb routine and a timed leap. Green eyes push me to the highest vine so I aim up. A red flash drives me low near the edge to dodge projectiles. Blue glow calls for me to hang on the vine just below the top then jump over blasts. The boss also summons green minions and I clear them fast. Fifteen stages follow a set path but I can replay any I finish. I need to reach the right edge with health left to win. Falling or losing all my health ends the run but I keep my points and coins.
