About This Game

【About "The Hurricane of the Varstray"】

"The Hurricane of the Varstray" is a vertically scrolling shoot'em up with a SF story: in the distant future, to defend the Earth against the invasion of mystery mechanical structures, 4 girls head to "the Varstray sector," far away from the Earth and considered as the villain.

This is the latest original work by "Studio SiestA" which produced "The TOMBOYISHl☆WITCHES" after an interval of 7 years, into which we exhaustively poured our long-held shooting game development know-how!
