A retro mix of a shoot-em-up gameplay with RPG elements, this is inspired by the likes of Tyrian, Raiden and Donpachi. Fast-paced with a primary focus on gunplay, rather than just bullet dodging, it gives you incremental ways of not only pushing through content, but also improving your ship and its loadout (such as experience, level-ups and skill points). If you’re not quite up to the challenge, you’ll have the opportunity to warp over to Redbeard’s Burrow to spend some credits, supe up your ship and return to sectors you’ve failed. From Gauss Cannons to Lazer Beams, Hadron Exploders to weapon cooling, upgrades are key to not only choosing your playstyle, but progressing through harder difficulties. With its 4:3 display and CRT mode, to its multiple difficulty settings that offer replayability across its 6 sectors, DreadStar provides an authentic retro experience. Features: Fast shoot-em-up gameplay with epic boss encounters; 4 different ships and 10 different weapons to annihilate your opponents; Tons of customization options from armors and engines, to shields and special items; Gain experience, level-ups and skill points to incrementally improve your ship’s strength; 6 replayable sectors filled with unique enemies, bosses and minibosses; 3 difficulty settings for every sector, where you’ll need to improve both your skill and your ship to progress; Gorgeous pixel art cutscenes and a kick-ass chiptunes soundtrack made on the famed Atari-ST and ZX Spectrum; A 4:3 display and CRT mode for that authentic retro experience. |
