Alien Soldier (Genesis) All Bosses (No Hit)

Alien Soldier (Genesis) All Bosses (No Hit = No Damage by enemies. Difficulty: SuperHard). Alien Soldier is another great game by Treasure (Gunstar Heroes, Dynamite Headdy). It's a pretty unique game, because almost entire game is one long Boss Rush: over 20 (!) bosses, and some of them have two or more forms. Boss design is very cool. I like werewolf guy and boss on the horse (actually, he looks like Fang from Contra Hard Corps 0_0... but only with hat, well... and riding the cyborg horse... Stop! The hat and cyborg horse? It's Vampire Hunter D! :D Anyway, I'll say it again - it's a great game. All Contra Fans and just hardcore gamers should play it! Boss list:
00:07 Boss 01 Jets Ripper
00:25 Boss 02 Antroid
00:58 Boss 03 Shell Shogun
01:56 Boss 04 Sniper Honeyviper

I always get confused when I find games like this. Like how did characters like Samus, Sonic, Megaman, and more get so much acclaim & recognition, but this is the first time I've ever seen this guy.

[@dirtfriend]

their games weren't aimed at a niche crowd that only played extremely difficult games.

[@RisottosWife]

@@dirtfriend what are you even talking about dude? Arcade games (including games that emulate it like this one) were blowing up so fucking high even when the Genesis and SNES were present, definitely wasn't niche, and are you really telling me games like Metroid, Megaman and Castlevania aren't fucking harder? they ARE way more difficult dude.

@@PENNSYLVANIA5999 that's not my point dude, what I was saying is there are definitely games that are way harder than the game in this video yet are far more popular, I never claimed those were the only difficult games out there and I worded it carefully.

[@saporob]

This game was the top notch game for Genesis and probably even better(technically) than any Snes game at the time, it required a lot of time to be developed and the main problem is that it has been released in 1995 when PS was out and megadrive already dead(this means publishers didn't invest money to have better votes by magazines... ). The game is hard but fulfilling and the boss mechanics very various. Castlevania SoN, dark Souls and many modern metroidvania games are clearly inspired by the boss design and mechanics of this game...

Are you saying he shouldn't teleport, there are bosses that require you teleport

[@megadriveleo]

@@powerstones7722 No I’m saying that the creator of the video had a nice attention to detail when specifying because no HITS and no DAMAGE mean two different things. If something is mandatory and not doing it causes unavoidable damage in a game, you have to switch the title from “no damage” to “no hit” to clear any possible confusion up. Honestly I think I made this subject even more confusing lol

This game was released before it was completely finished. That’s why you never fight some of the bosses from the intro. Can’t really blame the developers since they were probably on a very tight schedule and the megadrive was already a last gen console by 1995. They still should’ve given it a physical release in the U.S though
