The Battle of Aurinoxia is a retro-inspired fast-paced vertical space shoot 'em up with pixel art graphics, unique enemies, tough angry bosses, and a killer soundtrack.
The Alliance's mission to exploit precious resources from Aurinoxia IV has erupted in conflict with residents of the system. As the Aurinoxians commence a brutal attack on Alliance ships, they target mining operations and destroy civilian outposts without discretion. The Alliance response is swift and unified. You are among the first pilots to arrive in the system to mount the counteroffensive. Get out there and show those aliens the price for messing with the Alliance!
Engage the the relentless assault of alien light-fighters, heavies, and elites, and take out the boss at the end of each stage by figuring out and exploiting their attacks and behaviors. Build up your Mega-Bomb attack meter and Supershield defense and utilize them to unleash on the enemy at your discretion. Improve your weapons loadout via upgrade drops and unleash a fury of bullet hell on the opposing forces. When the going gets tough, make a mad dash for random Nuke drops and level the battlefield to regain the advantage!
Grab the free demo to play the first few stages in Story Mode. You'll also get limited access to Survival Mode where you battle endless waves of enemies and take on the early bosses.
