Game History & Updates

What's Changed
This version can let you change the controls back like you had the classical way.
For those who complained this is how you can do it:
Under the Tyrian Game go to Options-> Keyboard there you can get the classical control scheme layout.
Further options for that are available in the option just before Opentyrian boots up.
Have fun!

Every time I get a new phone I re download it. I was sold at no in app purchases... This is a truly free to play game! No pay to win and its not so difficult that you have to pay for anything even if you could. I would give 100 stars if I could just because its a game that is advertised as free and it actually is free. No ads is a very big plus as well. Thanks for such an outstanding game.

Love this game downloaded this a while ago played it with touchscreen, I thought at the time this is great but controls were difficult, so saved it for when I was bored and forgot about it. recently purchased a controller and decided to test all my games and found this one more addictive! I think when I was a child I must had had the demo as I don't remember the later chapters. This game is now one of my favorite games. Please make more retro games like this.

I used to play this game at my grandparents house when I was 7 years old. It was an old Gateway computer, with a big old monitor, and Tyrian looked great. It was the best part of otherwise boring relative visits. Now, here I am, twenty years later, playing the same old Tyrian, on a piece of tech that was fantasy twenty years ago. I hope it's around for 20 more!

I GREW UP playing this. Probably one of the first games I learned to play, now 20 years later I can be brought back to my childhood just by opening up my phone. THANK YOU

Maybe it's the simplicity of the port or maybe it's the genius of the author but this game refuses to break! I've tried it on multiple devices across newer and newer versions of Android over the last few years and it has worked every time! One of my favorite games back in the day and still holds up as a pretty good shoot 'em up. Whether it's touch controls, on-screen joystick, or bluetooth joystick, this game has your options covered. A definite recommendation from me!

Free mobile gaming doesn't get better than this. Heck, paid mobile games don't get any better, either. The fact that it's an old ported game is just a nostalgic cherry on top.

This brings back memories of classic 90's pc game this is just brilliant. Its not very easy to play on mobile phone nore on android tablet. What happened to the un-install button where is it.

A really good port of the original game for android. I got some trouble in the upgrade menu, but I hope you'll soon fix that. Thanks for this AMAZING job

There's this one weird bug where it won't let you guy an item sometimes. You have to save your game, exit out, and get back in before it will let you. Other then that, superb.

Brings back childhood memories as someone else said. Just like the original, just less crashing and conventional memory :)

Great port of Amiga/PC shot'em'up. Brings sweet care-free childhood memories back. Dudes! This is 90s classics. Not much of modern games can reach such quality.

I used to have this on a desktop computer and forgot what the name was. I finally found it. This deserves ten million downloads! Edited: I can't save! The difficulty needs to be lower for easy difficulty.

Best game on the pc during my young pc years, now on mobile phones 20 years later. You may get old but a classic is still a classic. Loving it

Great games never get old! It runs much more smoothly on S3 than how I remember it used to on my old PC. Thank you for this!

When I select new game & go to upgrade menu not all of the items in a sub menu can be selected. Effects shield/generator & both sidekicks - get a sound but item not respond to selection. It's seems to cure if you change keyboard options (touch mode) but resets on next game startup & need to reapply tweak. When go to save no keyboard show up to add description neither text on what should be OK & SAVE buttons

Loved this game back in the day, and this is a good port. Couple of little niggles like a few menu options don't quite work right, you need to amend the controller options otherwise some ship upgrades won't select, and the in game control touch sensitivty isn't perfect, but otherwise still great to play.

Needs the 2k update added I played on every difficulty and couldn't get episode 5 and the hxc class c shield, really annoying, but everything else is pretty darn epic

A fun free vertical shooter. I usually am awful at them but easy mode is just right for really bad players while the harder difficulties are right at home for other fans. Its a marvelous game and the fact its the best free game on the market is a testiment to is greatness.

Seriously? This is one of my favorite childhood games and it's even better than I remember!! The app works perfectly on my phone. Only thing more awesome would be to be able to play multi-player with someone else

Working on Android TV with gamepad. Only problem is on saving in story mode need to use a mouse to save.

Here we have Tyrian with touch screen instead of mouse input. Nothing more, nothing less. Works perfect. Any fan should get this. I only wish it was Tyrian 2K, which gave a few more options I liked.

This is the exact same game that I used to play on Windows 3.1. Everything is flawless, with the exception of save data. It is a bit buggy, but otherwise it is perfect. I use a Mad Catz MOJO on my 46" HDTV, and I have a hard time imagining how people play this game on a tiny screen without a controller/keyboard...

I played through the entire campaign and didn't experience a single issue. I used a gamepad, so I can't speak to how well the touchscreen plays.

Tyrian with touch controls or onscreen buttons or even physical buttons/keyboard if your phone has it. I loved this game on DOS on my windows 95 computer, so classic and it looks and sounds the same.

Glad this game made it to Android. It brings back memories of playing this game on my Aunt's PC as a kid. This is an awesome side-scroller space game with endless possibilities and an easy learning curve. The music is pretty great, too!

Fantastic top down space shooter, all kinds of secrets and even weird special levels. Crazy story, many different upgrades to your ship, enemies, and thr difficulty scales really well (although there are a few levels so difficult that you'll need to memorize much of them to pass them.) 9.5/10 5 stars

This is one of the best shooters I have played, and it also has some of the best music I have ever heard. SDL does a great job of emulating this on Android, and is smooth, fast, and it feels like a native app.

It's fast, and everything is blowing up, and You can upgrade the ship, and there is some story behind. Also gamepad seems to work fine.

In a lot of the menus I can't select certain things. Numerous times I accidentally purchase an upgrade I don't want but it won't let me change back. Seems to happen with menu items at the bottom which sucks since I just can't buy some of the best upgrades because of this. The ship moves a bit janky with my touchscreen too. Huge fan of the game though. If you fix the menu bug I'll definitely give this a 5 star rating.

Little less known but more than fun shooter about a Terra formation pilot on a quest to stop Microsol from destroying the galaxy. Battle robot facilities, alien armadas, space stations, and even spacefood. Yes. Amazing story though is not the complete version.
