Elevator Action Deluxe

About

Elevator Action Deluxe is a vertically scrolling shooter that updates a classic formula for modern play. You control a lone agent navigating a high-rise building in a retro-futuristic elevator, blasting waves of enemies while dodging bullets. The focus is pure twitch gameplay with tight controls and fast pacing. Each level escalates the chaos with tighter corridors and more aggressive foes. Checkpoints and health pickups add some breathing room but the challenge stays sharp. The deluxe version adds remastered visuals and extra modes including a training session and classic cabinet art. While the core loop hasn't changed much since the 1980s, the smooth port and optional difficulty tweaks keep it accessible. With a 7.8/10 on Metacritic from 40+ reviews, it appeals to fans of old-school shoot 'em ups looking for straightforward action without modern frills. The PS3 version runs cleanly and captures the frantic energy that made the original a cult favorite.
