Synopsis

Gaiapolis takes place in a fantasy universe (medieval-fantasy). Developed and published by Konami on arcade console in May 1993, it was released exclusively on this medium and has not experienced adaptations on consoles. The game uses a graphical representation in top view, quite unusual for this style of play, as well as a vertically oriented monitor (called "screen tate"), usually reserved for vertically scrolling shoot'em ups.

Gaiapolis offers classic gameplay at first glance, but that goes off the beaten path of the beat'em all of the time. As for the classic game, the player must face and get rid of waves of enemies that appear successively on the screen, and each level ends with a boss before continuing on the next step. The three heroes have a fairly classic set of moves and have their own movement speed and attack range. Each character can also use a spell that can hit all the enemies on the screen, and execute a run by pressing twice before, to accelerate his mobility to avoid being surrounded or to then hit more strongly an opponent located at a distance. In addition, performing a fast rotation of the stick makes it possible to trigger a spinning attack.
