The game was originally released on 12/15/89 in Japan and in March of 1990 in
USA.
Abadox is just your average space shooter game wherein you fly around and blow
up aliens... within the body of an alien. It's similar in story and gameplay
with Life Force, but as this is the NES we're talking about here, there's
really not much you can do here... unless you want the game to be
overcomplicated.
Anyway, I'm here to lead you through the basics of this game, as well as to
help you out in some of the game's hardest moments.
Controls:
--------
D-Pad is used for moving your character, Second Lieutenant Nazal
A button is used to control your defense shields. But first you'll have to
get some.
B button is used for firing your weapon.
START button is used for pausing/resuming gameplay.
The Walkthrough:
----------------
STAGE 1
-------
Be aware that you must not get hit (if you don't have defense), or else
you'll die. That's why you have to stay cautious at all times. You start the
level by flying in space and facing various enemies. Kill the blue thingies,
flying eyeballs, jaws from afar, try not to get too close to them, or else you
may not hit them in time, and you'll have to start all over again. With three-
range shooting it should not be too hard. Soon you'll see flying skulls, and
purple birds, kill them to get defensive shields. The thingies that are
crawling on the land are your top priority to kill, cause they shoot a lot of
fireballs in front of you, thus making it much harder for you to navigate. So
murder them right away. Sometimes the enemies will come in groups of two or
three, making it easier to shoot the hell outta them.
You'll be ambushed by Bau, the skeleton "dog" in the middle of the level. It's
not hard, just stay away when it jumps to the sides and do not fly above him,
or you may get hit by his little lasers.
After dealing with the puppy, shoot your way forward and you'll fly into the
"underground" part of this stage. You'll see pink flowers at the top and the
bottom, kill them fast. Also beware that now enemies will start appearing from
behind, thus always keep moving. The blue shining fangs are easy to fly over.
Next you'll see some moving purple pillars, not too hard too. Finally, you'll
arrive to the real boss of this stage, the Death Face.
BOSS: Death Face
Keep shooting missiles at his floating eyeballs and straight in the face. He
will sometimes shoot some blue balls at you from inside his mouth, though
there's only three of them at a time, so it's nothing hard. Soon the bastard
will die.
STAGE 2
-------
Wow, this one's vertical. And fast-paced too. Shoot the enemies from above,
but be also cautious cause you can get hit from the sides. The red "crippers"
are fast and they go zig-zag. Just stay at one side and keep firing. Once you
will get lasers, it's gonna get easier to take out those lizards and crippers
out of the way. At some point in time, you'll see red hands trying to grab you
so now's not the time to fly to the sides, better just stay in the middle.
Soon you'll be ambushed by some kind of a snake (?). It'll keep circling round
you and shooting little energy balls at you. Always keep moving and kill it
rapidly.
Now it'll get tougher, cause the passage will get thinner. Be very careful
here. This nightmare is not too long, as soon you'll arrive to the place where
the boss of this stage awaits you.
BOSS: Death Stomach
I just couldn't find a better name for that thing :) This shouldn't be hard,
just look out for the flying balls and lasers that thing and its minions shoot
and you should be fine. It will go down in about 7-8 precise missile launches.
STAGE 3
-------
Horizontal again. This time you will find yourself in some blue maze-like
tunnel. Red amoebas are swarming here plus some green nasty green flowers that
shoot things at you. By now you should've gotten the missile-laser combo to
annihilate everything in your way. Just breeze through the level filled with
flying scarabs, little blue balls and flowers that grow from the floor and the
ceiling. Be sure to grab all the bonuses, you'll definitely need them later.
A flying fish will pop out of nowhere, and it's nasty. Kill it quickly, and
dive under it, or else its energy balls will crush you. It has measly health,
so it'll go down fast.
In the second part of the stage you may get some blue circle shooting supplies
that cover a lot more area when shot. It'll help you a little. Just keep on
flying, shooting everything with homing missiles until you reach the boss.
BOSS: Mummy
Its head is situated on the ceiling, while its "stomach" is directly in front
of you. Shoot the stomach. The head sends out some red amoebas at you while
the stomach shoots a five-ranged fire. If you're good enough, you should be
able to survive. Always keep shooting. The boss will die shortly after.
STAGE 4
-------
Another vertical level. Nothing new here, except some new types of enemies
like yellow crabs and snakes charging at you from the walls. As always, homing
missiles should do the job. At the middle of the level you'll arrive in small
room where a big crab will start shooting craploads of energy balls at you.
Move to sides like crazy. Some good ol' R-Type, huh? I must say that this
thing gave me lots of game overs back in the days, so you might want to be
extra cautious here.
Keep on getting through hordes of enemies further, we're almost there. At some
point the music will just disappear, right about when you be flying near some
fanged larva. Be careful not to touch its moving fangs. The larva is pretty
damn long, and cut in half, ey? XD You'll come to the end of the level where
you'll see larva's little tail. Shoot the hell out of it to completely beat
the stage. I don't really consider this thing a boss, so there's no BOSS tag
for this stage. 2 more to go!
STAGE 5
-------
This mecha-level is filled with some new robotic enemies who shouldn't be an
obstacle. Oh, and I also love the music in this one! Keep on ravaging the
enemy's defenses until you'll be thrown into a fight with three pink robots.
The robots don't move simultaneously, but once at least one of them dies, all
free go down.
The second part of the stage is up next. Quickly hover through the big green
lasers, and don't forget about the enemies here. After a minute of unstoppable
combat you'll come to the second last boss of the game.
BOSS: Death Robot
This is one helluva robot. Its head shoots white energy balls while its torso
and arms pierce you with lasers. You should focus on staying in the top of the
screen with little and CAREFUL moving to evade the energy balls. The missiles
and blue rings will destroy the boss sooner or later. I even managed to take
him out with just Tresbeam a couple of times. Final stage, here we go!!!
STAGE 6
-------
A tube-like vertical level. Now this is tough. You gotta be very precise in
your movements here to stay alive. Move quickly and smash the ghosts and other
menaces out of your way as soon as possible. Next, you'll find yourself in
a passage crossed with yellow lasers, activating time from time. Be very
careful not to get in the fire area when they activate. Thus, always try to
move to the sides when evading energy balls and quicky move down to pass the
lasers. A press thingie is up next. Ooh, I died many times here. After you've
fled through it, you meet with a mini-boss. Five nasty eyeballs. They shoot
homing "seeds" at you. Run away from the seeds or destroy them. When there are
no seeds around, close up to the eyeballs and destroy them. The last part of
the stage is pretty much awesome. Cannons from all sides will be firing energy
balls at you that will form a bird-like cannonball that charges at you. Be
sure to evade. Another set of yellow lasers follows. Next up is...
FINAL BOSS: Parasitis Core
I found this guy laughably easy. Just the green spheres at the sides, and don't
forget about the head. Staying close to him will save you from some of his
attacks. What will also help is having a large arsenal of weapons you should
have gathered by now. Don't back dowm, this is the last fight in the game.
Eventually, you'll make it.
Watch a little scene. There's also the last, 7th stage of the game, although
it's not really a stage. It's more of a pain in the ass. You'll have to fly
through the level at a pretty high speed. I bet your fingers will be burning
after this trip. Avoid the obstacles until you reach the black space. Watch
last scene of the game and the staff credits.
Congrats! You beat Abadox: The Deadly Inner War!!!
