About Crystal Drive Z

The World Depends On You

An unknown signal has seized the colony world-ship Cradle of Life and dragged it off course. Its drive is damaged, its reserves are failing, and the crystals that can save it lie deep in a hostile asteroid field. You're one of the five ace pilots sent in to bring them home, while your flight engineer, Lieutenant Collins, tracks the transmission pulling you deeper.

Classic Arcade Gameplay

Crystal Drive Z is a vertical arcade shoot 'em up about pushing your skills to the edge in a hostile asteroid field. Collect crystals to repair your ship, sustain your combo, raise your score and unlock permanent fleet upgrades.

Fight Through 99 Escalating Sectors

Dodge asteroids, slip through minefields and break pirate formations before they box you in. Challenges escalate with every sector, while five major bosses test everything you've learned. Reach sector 99 and silence the threat at the heart of the asteroid field.

Choose Your Pilot And Ship

Fly as Ace, Braddock, Giana, Chan or Calder: five pilots, each with a different stat spread and a signature perk, letting you cover a weakness or push a strength. Then pick your ship, from the agile Viper to the armoured Bulwark and the crystal-hungry Prospector, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.

Upgrade your ship between runs to find your way deeper into the asteroid field, face stronger challenges and collect greater rewards.
