About

STORMHAWK

Features
Read full description

STORMHAWK is a vertical arcade shooter built the old way: every one of its 32 missions is hand-designed, with its own theatre of war, its own fleet and its own boss, from a red interceptor to an armed zeppelin. You start with one plane and a straight gun. Ten minutes later you are rolling through flak with a magnetic graze meter, a wingman squadron and a deck of roguelite cards you picked yourself. Between missions you spend your loot in the hangar, unlock more fighters, and chase 96 medals. WHAT IS IN IT - 32 missions across 8 theatres, 16 bosses and a mid-mission heavy escort - 12 fighters with genuinely different weapons, unlocked with medals - 12 roguelite cards with synergies, drawn from a capsule you shoot to cycle - Hangar upgrades, coins, ranks and 96 medals to collect - Daily mission with a rotating mutator, and a weekly challenge - Endless and Boss Rush for short sessions - Ace mode (New Game+): the whole campaign again, harder, double score - 3 save slots with autosave per mission - Plays in 7 languages: English, Espanol, Portugues, Francais, Deutsch, Russian, Turkce HOW IT PLAYS One finger. Drag anywhere and the plane follows; it fires on its own. Second finger: hold for focus, tap for a barrel roll. No tutorial screens: the first five seconds are a ceasefire and the game shows you the gesture, then gets out of the way. Works offline.
