VERISIM SKIES

STORY:

Merciless warrior, forged in strife.

The fastest bullet. The sharpest knife.

Enemies shatter in your wake.

Your strength, your resolve, none shall break.

Should you fail to save your home,

Then among the stars forever roam.

- Champion's Writ of Protection

The year is 5494. A terrorist attack on Korva, the capital of The Red Zone, has resulted in the loss of over 15,000 Korvan lives. Evidence from the investigations suggests that a Skyddan cargo ship from The Green Zone is directly linked to the attack.

When questioned, the Skyddan Government denied any involvement. This is not the answer the people of Korva were hoping for.

As Champion of The Red Zone, you will lead the assault on The Green Zone and bring justice to your home.

"Might Makes Right."

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Verisim Skies is a game that aims to provide players with a SHMUP that focuses on story without detracting from the gameplay. This demo will show you a small taste of what that means. 

The epic story will unfold over the 8-9 missions available in the final game. Please look forward to the release in (hopefully) 2023!

Wow, this was awesome. Very EPIC, and your approach to narrative is very nice.

Boss could have more patterns, though.

Thank you! This build is very old and I hope to get a new demo out soon! Boss has much less health to accommodate for it not changing the pattern. 

Thank you so much for playing!

Hello! I love the demo of this game. I really wish I could collaborate with my music.

My discord is wood.dice#3714

I’m glad you liked it! I will be in touch!
