Robo Aleste, known as Dennin-Aleste (電忍アレスタ) in Japan, is a vertical scrolling shoot-'em-up developed by Compile exclusively for the Sega Mega-CD. It is part of the Aleste series of games, and the only one to use the Aleste name in all regions.

Gameplay
You control the flying robot with the directional keys. It comes with two fixed options in front of it. These absorb enemy bullets and cause damage on contact.
Holding fires the options away,
is for shooting and
for chaning movement speed. The standard shot can be powered up by collecting small powerup pellets. There are also 4 extra weapons. Blue is a piercing laser, green fires shurikens, brown is for bombs and and yellow gives the two options limited homing capabilities.
It should be noted that power ups reappaear infinitely during boss fights, which are not time limited. This way, infinite score can be accumulated, thus making the score counter obsolete.
Version differences
The game was made easier for the release outside of Japan, e.g. Aleste's yellow homing orbs became much stronger and the steady increase in rank was toned down. The NTSC-J version had plenty of character dialogue stored as redbook audio tracks on the disc, but many of these tracks ended up being unused. The respective dialogues simply appeared as text.
