It’s a nightmare, but it’s true! Research shows that we are the actual aliens on Earth, and the ruthless Xevions are the original inhabitants.
Now the Xevions want Earth back — minus humans! Their invasion forces are fierce — the land is crawling with deadly Domogram Rovers; the sky is black with Toroid Patrol Fleets and Zoshi Death Squads.
Our puny weapons offer no defense. Earth’s only hope is our powerful new Solvalou Fighter Plane. Its pilot will have a single mission: Penetrate the enemy ranks and destroy the Xevious Mother Ship.
The mission is dangerous. We can’t guarantee success. But at this point, it’s do or die!
One small problem. We still need a pilot. Any volunteers?
The game begins with Solvalou fighters flying over the Xevious enemy territory. You are controlling Solvalou with its anti-aircraft missiles and surface bombs. Your goal is to destroy the enemy and proceed on your mission.

If you really, really don't find any other shooter and you just have to shoot stuff, this might still do the trick. Maybe.
Repetetive gameplay.
This review is for the NES port
Xevious is the game your older brother brought home saying “It’s time to throw that fuzzy Mario dude out of the console, because I’ve got an awesome action-packed game where you shoot stuff” and you had to step aside with tears in your eyes as your tough brother did just that.
Xevious is a shooter filled with action, and it could’ve been awesome if it was more packed with power ups, but sadly the gameplay becomes boring before you get through the first level.
Playing Xevious you’ll find yourself long for that fuzzy Mario game you were playing before.
The prototypical vertical scrolling shooters. The precursor to ‘bullet storm’ or ‘bullet hell’ games.
