How it feels

A fast, score-driven vertical shooter where dodging enemy fire and chaining lock-ons keeps the action constantly escalating toward replayable, character-driven runs.

About

Airgrave is a vertical scrolling shoot-em-up where you pilot one of four fighter ships against the MUCOC forces across eight stages. Each character has unique stats and story sequences with voiced cutscenes. Lock onto multiple enemies simultaneously for bonus points, and build an Overdrive meter to unleash powerful attacks. Multiple endings encourage replaying with different pilots.
