Aperion Cyberstorm

Aperion Cyberstorm is a fast-paced 2D twin-stick shooter for 1–5 players. You combine Elements and Abilities to attack screen-filling groups of enemies, using weapons such as plasma-coated spiral rockets, electric mines and devastating lasers.

Campaign

Travel across four planets and more than 200 unique areas to find the team that abandoned you. You can play cooperatively, though enemies become tougher when you do. Collect shards from fallen enemies to upgrade Abilities with new damaging effects.

Game modes

Versus pits players against one another in contained arenas, where lava pools and other threats make it harder to survive. Ability and Element bundles drop into each match, offering instant power and a chance to stay in the fight. Eight fully customisable battle variants support quick scraps or longer matches. Play Free-For-All alone, team up in Team Battles, or add AI players for five-player battles.

In Onslaught, waves of enemies keep coming until you are defeated. Choose an Ability set carefully, as it stands between you and victory or destruction. All three modes—Campaign, Versus and Onslaught—support 1–5 players.

Ships and abilities

The game includes 12 ships, each with different power, defence, speed and recharge rates. You can combine 14 Abilities and six Elements in thousands of destructive combinations. Unlockable content is available in each mode.

Local play and options

Each player can create a local profile with a preferred name, ship colour, power-ups and control preferences. The game supports combinations of controllers as well as keyboard and mouse, and offers accessibility options including toggle fire, southpaw controls, automatic shooting and Ability activation, and global text resizing.
