6 itemsAbout the Game
Crimson Skyline is a challenging arcade 2D dogfighting shoot'em up.
PROGRESSION
In Crimson Skyline, you'll face waves of enemy fleets made of aircraft carriers and other warships.
Aircraft carriers are a central part of the game as they spawn all aircraft enemies. As such taking them down swiftly and strategically is a key element of the gameplay.
Stages are made of 10 waves and a final boss.
PLAYABLE AIRCRAFTS
THE RAFALE
Armed with dual rapid-fire machine guns, the Rafale is capable of inflicting sustained, devastating damage with pinpoint accuracy. Its special ability, the 'Cobra Shotgun' executes a lightning-fast turnaround, unleashing devastating shotgun-like blasts in multiple waves, obliterating anything caught in its path.
THE DELUGE
A missile specialist for pilots who excel at evasion. Its charging missile launcher charges faster the longer you hold, letting you stack an infinite arsenal for massive barrages. Built for a dodging-based playstyle, its special ability converts enemy fire into homing missiles with a skillful dodge roll. Harder to master but deadly in skilled hands.
