A players skill will determine what air units they may face. This can be reverted by destroying flashing-red 'Zolback' radars found on the ground, which will cause the more advanced enemies to be replaced with weaker ones.ĪIR UNITS: These are the air units you will encounter during the game. The game becomes progressively more difficult as the player becomes more skilled - once the player does well at destroying a certain enemy type, a more advanced enemy type will replace it. After Area 16 has been completed, the game loops back to Area 7. If the player dies before less than 70% of an area has been completed, play restarts at the beginning of the same area should a life be lost AFTER 70% of an area has been completed, however, play restarts at the beginning of the next area. Xevious is divided into 16 different areas, each separated by an area of forest. A gigantic, floating fortress called 'Andor Genesis' appears in certain areas this is defeated by knocking out its core. Ground enemies are a combination of both stationary bases and moving vehicles, most of which fire slow-moving projectiles. There are also rotating shields that cannot be destroyed and must be carefully avoided. Enemy craft appear in a number of different guises from the standard variety that arrive in large numbers but shoot slow-moving projectiles, to exploding black spheres that shoot projectiles at high speed. This flashes when an enemy is in its sights. To enable accurate targetting of the air-to-ground blaster bombs, a white and blue targeting indicator is situated in front of the Solvalou. 
The Solvalou is equipped with two weapon systems the forwards-firing "air zapper" for shooting air-based enemies and 'blaster bombs', for destroying ground-based enemies. Xevious (pronounced 'zeevious') is a vertically-scrolling shoot-em-up in which the player pilots the heavily-armed 'Solvalou' combat ship and must destroy the evil Xevious forces trying to take over the planet.
