DANMAKU Shooting - STELLAR FORCE 8 stages, 16 bosses. Every run you fly a different ship. ◆ 8 Stages, 3 Difficulties Route → mid-boss → route → boss. About 13 minutes a run. Clear NORMAL to open HARD, clear HARD to open LUNATIC. Higher difficulties give bosses more bullet patterns — and pay more coins. ◆ 16 Bosses One boss and one mid-boss per stage. You never fight the same one twice. ◆ 5 Weapons — not better and worse, but good at different things Vulcan / Spread / Laser / Homing / Reflect. Laser struggles on the route; Spread struggles on bosses. "Next run I'll take this one" is the reason to go again. ◆ 4 Armors — every one costs you something Heavy gives +3 HP and slows you down. Phase takes 2 HP away and pays you more the closer you fly to bullets. ◆ 3 Companions Gunner, shield, medic. Buy them, take up to two along. ◆ Pilot Level It always goes up when you play. A run you lose is not a run wasted. ◆ Graze and Bombs Skim a bullet and the coins climb. When there's no way through, bomb it. ◆ 8 Ships A small hitbox, more firepower, an extra bomb. They differ in how they fly, not just how they look.

About

Fallen Lands

Features
Read full description

The kingdom of Kierstein has fallen. Six crowns burned to ash by the Sundered King — and only the Fordsworn remain to take it back. Kierstein's Fallen Lands is a co-op bullet-hell ARPG where death is forever and loot is everything. Dodge storms of bullets, climb the loot ladder from rusted iron to god-tier relics, and descend a chain of dungeons toward a throne of ashes — one life per hero. ONE LIFE. NO REVIVES. Permadeath is real. Every hero you lose is remembered in the graveyard; every run you survive earns fame that lasts forever. THREE OATHS. Play the Knight (shield-wall tank), the Acolyte (beams + healing), or the Wizard (glass-cannon storm) — each with its own weapons, abilities and feel. A SHARED REALM. Spawn into an open overworld with everyone. A slain monster tears open a portal, and everyone who steps through fights the dungeon together. Bosses grow stronger with a full party — but every one can be felled alone. LOOT WORTH DYING FOR. Tiers T0-T7 plus UT exotics that drop only from bosses. Potion your stats to the fabled 8/8. Bank your best in a permadeath-proof vault. RECLAIM THE THRONE. Walk the Reclamation back region by region - the drowned coast, the burned crowns, the frozen court, the ashland - to the Sundered Seat itself. Free to play. Playable solo or with friends. Fall alone, or stand together.
