About the Game

Embrace the Beauty of Bullet Hell!

High up in the heavens, the ancient crystal known as Ira maintains the peace of an entire world... until a mysterious figure shatters the crystal, allowing Chaos to return. As malevolent creatures suddenly appear across the land, a young girl is chosen by an ancient god to collect the fragments of Ira and restore order, assisted by the apostles who once served Ira’s creator.



Find the Remnants of Ira and Save the World!

A character-based shooter with roguelike elements, IRA celebrates the artistry of what shooter fans call “bullet hell”: enemy projectiles that weave intricate, geometric patterns across the screen and force you to seek out the precarious safe spaces between them. Set in an Eastern-influenced fantasy world marked by ethereal beauty as well as grave danger, it’s a procedurally generated action game that requires skill, inspires strategy and rewards patience.



FEATURES

• Shoot arrows from 166 different bows

• Choose three special “perks” (power-ups) each time you level up
• 150 unique relics (passive buff items)
• 43 different synergies from bow + relic combinations
• 5 different Apostles that can be conjured for special ultimate skills and passive perks
• Procedurally generated maps across more than six different stages
• Boss battles with exceptionally devious projectile patterns
