Truxton is a modern PC release of the classic vertical scrolling shoot ’em up originally developed by Toaplan in the late 1980s. In this frenetic arcade shooter, you pilot the powerful Super Fighter spacecraft against relentless waves of alien enemies known as the Gidans in a desperate battle to defend humanity. While the gameplay stays true to its retro roots — fast movement, strategic weapon upgrades, and challenging boss encounters — the Windows version adds a host of modern conveniences such as quick-save, rewind features, customizable difficulty, and online leaderboards.
The polished emulation ensures minimal input lag and sharp visuals while preserving the classic pixel art style and legendary soundtrack composed by Masahiro Yuge. Whether you’re chasing high scores, learning enemy patterns, or just blasting through hordes of foes, Truxton delivers intense, old-school arcade action with quality-of-life improvements that make it accessible to both newcomers and long-time shoot ’em up fans.
