Question about Xevious: Fardraut Densetsu.

[ReyVGM]

The PC Engine one.

I'm facing the boss of level 3 (or 4?) and it doesn't seem like he can be defeated...
I got tired and let myself be killed and I got a cut scene which afterwards sent me back to the start of a level. I don't know if it's different or not since all the levels look the same.

So am I supposed to let myself be killed to advance the story? That's strange for a shooter, especially one that old.

Did you try using your Air to Ground bombs?

[ReyVGM]

Hehe, of course Vyse. I'm not that stupid

It looks like I had to actually let myself get killed.
I just had to ask 'cause I've never had to do something like that in a shooter. In RPGs and action games is more common for that to happen.

I'm now in the next level which doesn't look like it's going to end and I've fought the same boss like 6 times now :/

[vysethebold]

Hahaha, sorry. You have to admit, though, sometimes guys like us are so seasoned at gaming that we sometimes forget small, obvious things like that. I meant no offense and I'm sure you took none.

[ReyVGM]

I took none don't worry.
I know you weren't trying to do that either
