Play Xevious 3D/G Online

Xevious 3D/G came out in 1996, emulated in MAME 0.243, and was developed by Namco. It's a polygonal remake of the classic Xevious, arriving during a period when many arcade shooters were experimenting with early 3D visuals. The game retains the core vertical shooting action but places it within a fully three-dimensional environment, giving a familiar formula a new sense of space and perspective.

You pilot the Solvalou fighter, moving freely across a scrolling landscape while targeting both airborne enemies and ground installations. Your main objective is to survive as long as possible, clearing waves of foes and destroying key bases. Signature mechanics include a dual weapon system: a standard forward-firing shot for air targets and bombs dropped manually to hit ground structures. The pacing is relentless, with enemies emerging from all directions and terrain that demands spatial awareness. Difficulty remains high, typical of the series, requiring sharp reflexes and careful aim. It feels like a tense, spatial puzzle where every dive and dodge matters.
