About Shadow Wake

From the outer rings of the galaxy, endless waves of enemies are closing in. You’re the last pilot able to put an end to this.

The bad guys feed off the dark matter. Destroy them to get Etherium-128. This is a superheavy element that’s formed in the cores of neutron stars. It serves as a super-duper fuel and it’s irreplaceable for upgrading your ship with alien technology.

Shadow Wake is a classic retro-arcade game that combines fast-paced combat with modern gameplay mechanics. Defend planets from destruction. Unlock new weapons by gaining XP.  Manage your ship’s energy, which never covers everything, and distribute it between your shields, weapons and engines. Any system performs better when powered at 100% of energy, but there’s never enough energy to maximize them all at once.

Shadow Wake video 1

Route power to your shields - and your ship is nearly invincible. Redirect it to your weapons - and no enemy will survive your attacks. Max out your engines - and you can outrun enemies or chase down fleeing targets.

Different enemies demand different tactics. Experiment with weapon types, adjust your power distribution, and adapt your strategy to survive every wave.

Also, in battle, you have to collect rare resources used to upgrade the ship’s modules and systems.
