Xevious is a shoot'em up video game franchise created by Namco, now known as Bandai Namco Entertainment. The series debut with the arcade game Xevious, which was released in January 1983 in Japan and in February 1983 in North America by Atari. The game was created by Masanobu Endo, who is also known as the creator of The Tower of Druaga.[1] It received multiple sequels, spin-offs, and re-imaginings, with the latest being Xevious Resurrection from 2009. Xevious games have been ported to many consoles and compiled into several Namco compilations. The franchise currently contains twelve games — seven mainline entries and five spin-offs — soundtrack albums, pachinko machines, board games, and an animated feature film produced by Groove Corporation.
Gameplay consists of controlling a spaceship named the Solvalou throughout a series of levels, shooting at enemies and avoiding their projectiles.[1] The Solvalou has two weapons, an air zapper that destroys air-based enemies and a blaster bomb that destroys ground-based enemies. Later games introduce mechanics such as additional playable ships, power-ups, protective shields, and two-player co-operative play. The first game was greatly praised and is labeled among the most important games of its kind.[1] It is credited as the first vertical-scrolling shooter, and among the first video games to implement bosses,[2] pre-rendered visuals,[3] and a cohesive world and storyline.[2] Xevious inspired games such as Gradius,[4] TwinBee,[2] Thunder Force,[5] Zanac,[6] and RayForce.[7] It had an influence on designers such as Satoshi Tajiri,[8] as well as musicians like Haruomi Hosono.[2]
