About this game

Description

Supplied by the Steam store

Alien Skies merges the adrenaline-fueled, twitch-reflex action of classic arcade side-scrolling space shooters with the strategic progression of a modern rpg. The galaxy is under siege by a relentless extraterrestrial threat, and you are the last line of defense.

Don't just survive the invasion—end it.

Game play

The Station (The Strategy & Planning Phase) Your journey begins and ends in the safety of space stations. This is your tactical hub where you dictate the pace of the game:

Customize Your Ride: Buy, sell, and equip a variety of ships, weapons, and advanced ship components to suit your playstyle.

Control Your Progress: Unlike traditional linear arcade shooters, you choose your path. Browse the mission board and select from multiple operations that bridge different stations across the galaxy.

Gear Up: Turn your fragile starter ship into an unstoppable dreadnought before launching into the unknown.

The Missions (The Action Phase) Once you undock, the retro arcade action begins:

Classic Side-Scrolling Mayhem: Battle through beautifully scripted, linear levels packed with diverse alien enemy types, hazardous environments, and bosses.

Auto repair : Any sustained damage you take during a mission is automatically repaired once you successfully dock at the next station. Survive the gauntlet to patch up!

Difficulty : Alien skies has two difficulty modes : standard and hardcore.

Standard Mode: If your ship gets blown to pieces mid-mission, don't panic. You will safely return to the station you started from—and you get to keep all the credits and loot you picked up before you died. Re-arm, rethink your strategy, and try again!

Hardcore Mode: Want a true retro challenge? Turn on Hardcore. If you die here, your save is wiped, the game ends, and you must start your journey from the very beginning.

Key Features:

Retro Shoot 'Em Up Action: Classic side-scrolling gameplay with modern, fluid controls.

Deep Customization: Dozens of modular upgrades, weapons, and ships to mix and match.

Player-Driven Progression: Choose your missions and chart your own course through the stars.

The skies are crawling with enemies. Pilot, ignite your engines and take back the stars!
