About the Game
Classic STG, Two-Player Co-op Returns!
This is a very traditional STG. You cannot play online — that's right, the only way is to invite a friend to your home and fight together, just like before: the two of you sit in front of the screen and break through the hard parts side by side.
Of course, this doesn't stop you from choosing to fight alone (but that'll be harder).
Pick from a Lineup of Distinctive Fighters!
Pilot-Xun
Main Weapon
Energy Weapon:“Holy Blade” Laser
Kinetic Weapon:Volley Launcher
Skills
Energy Burst:Plasma Shield
Kinetic Burst:Barrage
Super Weapon
Pulsar Beam
Profile
Sustained fire holds one point, or sweeps the forward arc in continuous barrage. An omnidirectional field cancels all incoming rounds; a multi-link array spends one dense salvo. Flash and thunder become a colossal beam through the front.
Pilot-Guang
Main Weapon
Energy Weapon:Particle Beam Launcher
Kinetic Weapon:Focused Autocannon
Skills
Energy Burst:Aegis “Phoenix”
Kinetic Burst:Draconian Claw
Super Weapon
Colossal Wing
Profile
This machine's doctrine is calling in formed units. Particle beams blanket the forward arc; a high-rate stream then converges on any single point left in it. When rounds close, a support unit can be brought in off-field, or a combat wingman ordered to fall in briefly. Against a massed enemy, it directs the full bomber formation to cover the field.
Pilot-Jia
Main Weapon
Energy Weapon:Violet Lightning
Kinetic Weapon:“Ifrit” Launcher
Skills
Energy Burst:Power Storm
Kinetic Burst:Volcano Shot
Super Weapon
Fighter Alpha
Profile
Several arcs spread outward from first impact; a low-rate heavy gun drives ahead, each shell unusually heavy. Hull-cast EM radiation cancels incoming fire, scorching nearby units. One colossal shell punches through several targets. Against formidable foes, called-in heavy armor sheathes the hull, its full armament under sole command.
Pilot-He
Main Weapon
Energy Weapon:Pulse Launcher “Demon Buster”
Kinetic Weapon:IR Launcher “Fiery Will”
Skills
Energy Burst:Disruptors
Kinetic Burst:Sunburst
Super Weapon
Annihilator
Profile
Several light waves fan into the forward sector, each on its own track; one band of heat holds a single point. Fold-back waveguides sit on both flanks; a blast shell fans across them on contact. At the decisive moment, the gravity-field generator lays down a gravity well, enveloping every foe within—fire fiercest at the core.
Dual-Color Energy Burst — Twin Energy Weapons!
Using different weapon types builds different kinds of energy (the two rise and fall against each other). When a gauge is full, you can use a more targeted energy weapon. Red energy favors attack, blue energy favors defense. Each fighter's dual energy grants you a different set of abilities.
Permanent Upgrades Outside of Battle!
Score from every battle turns into resources for upgrading your weapons. Outside of battle you can level those weapons up permanently, increasing your fighter's damage and widening its attack range. The better you (and your partner) perform, the faster your fighter grows — see which of you contributed more.
Every Boss Will Drive You Up the Wall!
Warning: they're absurdly strong — you might end up smashing your controller or keyboard! Maybe the mouse too. Of course, this game doesn't require a mouse at all!
Reminder again: use a controller if you can, or it really is hard!
About Adventure Mode
Adventure Mode plays out roguelike-style. Each battle runs a bit shorter than the current stages, and after each victory you pick a different route forward.
Adventure Mode gives you a more complete story. You'll meet a mechanic, pirates, merchants, and a string of aliens tied to the plot. They're a mixed bag — some of them may not even be living things.
Through them you can get all sorts of weapons to modify your fighter, or spend reward tokens to raise its base stats — no more spoilers here.
All in all, Adventure Mode keeps the traditional combat longtime fans love while matching the pace of today's players. The difficulty curve is gentler, but a modified fighter makes the fighting even more intense!
