Retaliator

Retaliator

Update: This project took 3 months of development as a solo developer in 2016 and I have not continued working on it since then. I have uploaded an Alpha (1.1.0 - 2016) build to replace the demo which contains most of what the game had available when I stopped working on it.

Retaliator is a top down SHMUP (Shoot Em Up) inspired by the classics of old, but incorporating many modern gameplay mechanics and technologies. In Retaliator you will fight against a vast horde of alien invaders who are decimating Earth in a war that humanity is losing. Your mission is to retaliate against the enemy home world, leaving a path of destruction in your wake.

Retaliator supports the following game modes:

• Tutorial - Learn the controls of the game in a prompted environment.
• Campaign - Travel to the alien home world spanning various campaign missions at three difficulty levels (Normal, Hard, Chaos).
• Survival - Pit yourself against 30 waves of horrors and see what score you can achieve.
• Coop Survival - Cooperate with a friend to survive an enhanced, 2 player survival mode. Supports Xbox 360 controller input.
  

Retaliator also features:

• Complex control options, including mouse look (aiming), mouse scroll (weapon spread) and resource management options.
• Over 14 enemy types, including 5 challenging bosses.(Normal, Hard, Chaos).
• Over 18 weapons split into Primary, Secondary and Tertiary power levels.
• A choice of 4 different ship types with unique bonuses and abilities.
• Interesting levels with unique environments.

More coming soon, including:

• More enemy and weapon types.
• More missions extending the campaign
• In-game cinematic cutscenes
