Rating: 4.5/5
Quintic Warrior is a top view single screen shooter and you control your spacecraft in multiple directions blasting the mutants who move slowly up the screen in various rows over various levels. As you blast the mutants, you must avoid the fire of the dome's defences which are three guns on the sides and the bottom of the screen and they keep firing lasers at you but will only destroy you where all three lasers meet. If you are destroyed then you lose one of three lives but if any mutant reaches the top of the screen then it is game over. A Zed Rammer makes an appearance during a level and this moves down the side of the screen firing across the screen. Once all mutants are destroyed then you move to the next level and the starting level can be selected at the start of the game (0-21).
