6 itemsAbout the Game
ZENVADER is a bullet-hell roguelite shooter inspired by classic shooting games in the 80s.
You pilot a “Battle Unit”, the last hope for mankind, and take on an army of powerful aliens.
Four Battle Units
There are four types of battle units that you can pilot: a unit that excels in rapid fire, a unit that excels in penetrating ability and destructive power, a unit that fights using indirect means such as wall shot and missiles, and so on. Each unit has its own characteristics and requires different strategies.
Take Orbs to Power Up
Your unit is weak at first, but by taking orbs dropped by the aliens, you can temporarily enhance its rapid-firing speed, movement speed, damage dealt, and so on.
Unlock New Weapons at Space Hangar
By spending “Alien Materia” acquired by defeating aliens, you can unlock new weapons and permanently increase various parameters. The more you fight, the stronger you become, and eventually you will be able to defeat the foes that you thought you could never defeat.
Challenge yourself to Speedrun
Once your units are fully upgraded, try beating the campaign mode as fast as possible. While the typical clear time is around 20-25 minutes, optimizing your movements and refining your tactics can make clearing it under 15 minutes is not entirely impossible. So, how fast can you get?
