The game is an overhead run-and-gun game. It can be played by a single-player (as Yohan) or by two players simultaneously (joined by Ben). The second player can join at any time by pressing {{Start}}. Stages are set in one of five time periods: the Primitive Age, the Age of Rome, the World Wars, the Age of War, and Future World. Each time period has three different stages. Before each stage, the player is shown the name of one of the comrades and the period in which that comrade is held captive. The player is then placed into a stage from a random time period. After defeating the mid-boss at the end of the stage, the player is presented with a Time Tunnel, which can be entered to warp to the next time period. When the player reaches the time period in which the captive soldier is located, the player battles an additional main boss for the time period. After defeating this boss, the soldier is rescued. After rescuing all five troopers, players play a final stage and face Gylend.

The characters move in any direction with the D-Pad. Stages scroll in one of three directions (up, left, or right), depending on the segment. The screen follows the characters as they move but does not allow backtracking. The characters can shoot normal shots with {{1}}, which are unlimited. Regular enemies are defeated with a single shot. They can pick up special weapons that are fired with {{2}}. These weapons are more powerful but deplete an energy bar when they are fired.
 +
 
 +
Characters lose a life when they take a hit from an enemy. They respawn after a brief period of invulnerability if the player has lives remaining. If the player runs out of lives, the character does not respawn. When this happens, players have a brief period in which they can press {{1}} to continue before the score screen appears and the game ends. Each player can only continue twice.

Time Soldiers is a Sega Master System run-and-gun game developed by Alpha Denshi and published by Sega. A port of the developer's 1987 arcade game of the same name, it was first released in the United States and Europe in May 1989[2][7], and was later brought to both Australia and Brazil.

Story

Time Soldiers, Introduction.png

Introduction

The galactic conqueror Gylend has captured five troopers of Earth's defense forces and sent them back through time. Their comrades Yohan and Ben must travel through time with the aid of a device called the "D-Scanner" and face the dangers of each period in order to rescue their compatriots.

Gameplay

The game is an overhead run-and-gun game. It can be played by a single-player (as Yohan) or by two players simultaneously (joined by Ben). The second player can join at any time by pressing  START . Stages are set in one of five time periods: the Primitive Age, the Age of Rome, the World Wars, the Age of War, and Future World. Each time period has three different stages. Before each stage, the player is shown the name of one of the comrades and the period in which that comrade is held captive. The player is then placed into a stage from a random time period. After defeating the mid-boss at the end of the stage, the player is presented with a Time Tunnel, which can be entered to warp to the next time period. When the player reaches the time period in which the captive soldier is located, the player battles an additional main boss for the time period. After defeating this boss, the soldier is rescued. After rescuing all five troopers, players play a final stage and face Gylend.

The characters move in any direction with the D-Pad. Stages scroll in one of three directions (up, left, or right), depending on the segment. The screen follows the characters as they move but does not allow backtracking. The characters can shoot normal shots with 1, which are unlimited. Regular enemies are defeated with a single shot. They can pick up special weapons that are fired with 2. These weapons are more powerful but deplete an energy bar when they are fired.

Characters lose a life when they take a hit from an enemy. They respawn after a brief period of invulnerability if the player has lives remaining. If the player runs out of lives, the character does not respawn. When this happens, players have a brief period in which they can press 1 to continue before the score screen appears and the game ends. Each player can only continue twice.

Items

Items are sometimes dropped by enemies after they are defeated.

Picking up a special weapon replenishes the energy bar. The strength of a special weapon depends on the stage of the current era.

 Time Tunnel
After defeating a mid-boss, the characters can enter the Time Tunnel to travel to the next time period or ignore it and progress past it to the next stage of the current era. However, the main boss of an era only appears if the soldier that the characters are trying to find is in the current era. Otherwise, the third stage continues into the first and the stage loops infinitely until the player chooses to enter the Time Tunnel.

Stages

The first three soldiers are located in the Primitive Age, Age of Rome, and World Wars eras. To rescue each soldier, the players play through three random stages from these time periods and then defeat the main boss of one of the eras.

The last two soldiers are located in the Age of Wars and Future World eras. To rescue each soldier, the players play through all six stages from these time periods in a random order and then defeat the main boss of one of the eras.

After rescuing all five soldiers, the player plays the Last Battle stage.
