Gameplay edit

Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth is a science fiction-themed vertically scrolling shoot 'em up game.[5]

Reception edit

IGN gave Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth 5.0 out of 10 overall stating the gameplay was "okay, but has little variety and little innovation".[9] Nintendo Power gave 7.2/10: "This game is as simple as it gets. If you can see it on the screen, you can shoot it, or it can shoot you. Blast, dodge, collect power-ups. That's it".[22]

W. MacDonald of Hard Drive ranked Star Soldier #96 in its ranking of every N64 game, saying "It’s okay to not always want to dodge and weave your way through a bullet hell. Once in a while, it’s nice to hold down one button and wave an analog stick around for hours. Crack a cold one, do practically nothing, and still feel like you’re absolutely crushing."[23]
