Burning Soldier

Burning Soldier is a video game in the action genre developed by Genki Co., Ltd. and published by ITOCHU Corporation originally released in 1998. It is currently playable on Windows, 3DO.

A first-person space shooter, similar to Shock Wave and Total Eclipse, that has the player take control of a state-of-the-art Strike fighter in missions ranging from the asteroid belt to the final fight on the surface of the Earth. All of this is done in an attempt to stop the Kaisertian race (which resembles the Aliens from the Alien movies) from destroying humanity.

The gameplay is very simple. The player uses the D-pad to scroll through a cursor on the screen to aim where the player wants the weapons to fire, and the main buttons to fire the two main weapons of choice, a Vulcan Laser Cannon and a Blast Smash that is automatically guided towards incoming enemies. Unlike other first-person space shooters for the 3DO, however, there is no way to control the actual ship, as its movement follows a predetermined course and cannot be manually deflected. The story is told through CGI cinematics.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
