About Drainus
Drainus is a side-scrolling shooting game in which you pilot the Drainus against enemy ships moving through space. The ship’s Reflector absorbs energy bullets, letting you counterattack and store energy to improve its functions, including adding weapons.
Story
On the distant planet Halpax, the Kharlal Empire rules oppressively. Irina’s father, a slave, has Planetary Compatibility Disorder and must return to Earth for treatment. With his illness worsening, Irina has no time to hesitate when Gehnie, a humanoid from 50 years in the future, asks for her help in stopping the Empire.
Gehnie warns that the Kharlal Empire will soon begin a galactic war that will destroy more than 5,000 planets. Irina takes Gehnie’s hand, steals the Empire’s most cutting-edge fighter ship, the Drainus, and sets off for her distant home planet, determined to save her father and bring down the Empire.
The Reflector
The Reflector absorbs enemy attacks for a limited time. You can then launch a counterattack based on the amount absorbed, while the energy is also stored in tanks and used to enhance the ship’s functions.
