In "Midnight Resistance", you face the brutal power of King Crimson and his Crimson Corps after he kidnaps your grandfather and five relatives to twist their scientific knowledge for evil. As a resistance fighter, you blast through nine scrolling platform-based levels, each ending with a boss battle. Enemies attack on foot and in vehicles, and machine gun turrets line your path. Defeated foes drop keys, which can be exchanged at shop points for weapons like machine guns and flamethrowers – but you'll need to buy ammo, and once it runs out, the weapon is gone. The unique control system lets you shoot in multiple directions and crawl along low ledges – a smart mechanic that can save your skin in tight spots.
