This is a re-write of the original Tyrian v2.1 game by Jason Emery, Daniel Cook, Alexander Brandon, Robert Allen, and Eclipse Productions. It is based on OpenTyrian projects source code and licensed under GNU GPL v2. In accordance with GPL v2, the source code is available upon request. What our users say: ------------------ Wow, I loved Tyrian (and later Tyrian 2000) back in the day. Its an incredible shmup with a lot of depth, thanks to an extensive weapon power-up system. On my 3GS, it plays well, looks great, and brings back fond fond memories. Great port! The only thing more I could ask for would be better (and louder) sound. The music sounds very compressed, making the quality inferior to the original and other iPhone games as well. Otherwise, I could not be happier that one of my favorite PC shmups has made it onto my phone! Thank you!! ------------------ This is a must for any shmup fan. BTW, speed can be controlled from the pause menu.. as well as detail, music etc. iPhone 3GS can even handle secret "Wild" detail level According to devs, weapon upgrade bug fix is alredy submitted for Apple review. Love the X-mass easter egg too :-) ------------------ I must have spent in excess of 500 hours playing this game as a teenager. I dont even play games anymore but just spent the last few hours reliving my youth with this. Its great! Only things Id suggest are a button to fire the special weapons and some way of making the controls a little bit smoother. Otherwise great. Thanks for making this app.

Awesome game

I missed this game. The authors did a great job porting it, though it is a little rough around the edges particularly in the menu. Big problem: right now it doesnt work on iPhone 4. Please fix that!

Best top down shooter on idevice

Hydra13 · 15 years ago

Hands down my favorie and most overplayed Top Down Shooter on my device! The storyline is hard to follow and the humor is odd to say the least, but I overlook that for the incredibly fun gameplay and ship upgrades and customizations! (Im a sucker for games with upgrades) This is how new TDS games should be made! Thanks guys for an awesome port!

Make it work!!!

I loved this game from the moment I first loaded it onto my pc way back in the day. Years later i get it for my iPhone and played it again for the first time, reveling in the joy of Tyrian on my PHONE! What a concept! Tragically, Ive now been robbed of that joy simply because I updated to iOS 4 on my 3G S. Now it simply teases me with the opening screen and then crashes. Fix it fix it fix it!!! Ive never before taken the time to write a review because such things seemed inconsequential to me, but this travesty has caused me to act in order to save a treasured halcyon of my youth. FIX IT! Theres four more stars in it for you if you do...
