The Brigands of Venatus and the Purple Poison takes you to another world. A world full of once idyllic islands, harsh deserts, damp forests and cruel ice. A world where you must protect what is most precious and prevent the Brigands from taking all that we love! You are our hero. We have given you the only flight worthy craft that we have and we need you to save us. You have laser cannons with a wide spread but limited strength, power charged missiles and smart bombs. On the journey you will find helpful items, upgrades and keys to unlock treasures. Hints Fuel is important. Watch that fuel gauge and refuel often! You can continue a Campaign from the last completed level, but start a new Campaign and you have to work your way back through all the levels (great for getting the highest score!) Get the upgrades, they give you radar, extended fuel and power ups for shields, speed and weapons. Watch out for those flying bombs that slowly home in on your position. Try to finish each level as fast as possible to get higher scores. Campaigns are where you get upgrades. Explorer mode is for practicing levels you have already completed and where you can unlock zombie levels by getting 3* in each other level in that section. Slower devices can opt for non-HD (in the upgrade section). This reduces the resolution without compromising game play! With 9 sections containing 5 levels and a special 'zombie' level per section, you have 54 levels to conquer! Many levels depend on the total destruction of all things spreading poison but remember to find those keys! ## Key features - Flight combat with laser cannons, missiles, and smart bombs - Explore diverse environments: islands, deserts, forests, ice - Collect helpful items, upgrades, and keys - Manage fuel and upgrade shields, speed, and weapons - Multiple game modes: Campaign and Explorer - Unlockable zombie levels - Adjustable resolution for performance ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Increase Laser Cannons by 50% | $0.99 | one-time | | Increase Speed by 50% | $0.99 | one-time | | Increase Energy Shield by 50% | $0.99 | one-time | | Increase Auto Targeting by 50% | $0.99 | one-time | | No More Adverts | $1.99 | one-time | | Increase Rapid Fire by 50% | $0.99 | one-time | | Unlock all Zombie Levels | $4.99 | one-time | | All Power Ups + No Adverts | $3.99 | one-time | | Increase Missile power by 50% | $0.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (1 of 1) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/the-brigands-of-venatus/id1456397818/reviews.md ### 4/5 — Classic gaming *2019-07-01* A little tricky at first to master controls but then it opens up into a classic game! ## Frequently asked questions about The Brigands of Venatus ### What is The Brigands of Venatus about?
