Eschatos

Eschatos is an arcade shoot ’em up set in the year 21XX. A mysterious alien force known as Purple Erosion has taken over the Moon, and UFOs launched from its captured lunar base are invading Earth. You pilot an advanced space fighter, push the invasion back through space and recapture the Moon.

Game modes

Choose from three modes, each with its own scoring challenge:

• Original: clear enemy waves as quickly as possible.
• Advanced: balance risk and reward.
• Time Attack: race against the time limit.

The game has difficulty settings for different skill levels. Its scoring system has room for skilled play, and online leaderboards let you view top players. You can also share a run with a friend through the downloadable replay system.

Weapons and stages

You can use three weapons, each suited to a different situation. The Front Shot deals strong damage but has a limited firing angle; the Wide Shot reaches many enemies but has short range; and the Shield deflects bullets and inflicts heavy damage at close range.

A dynamic camera system accompanies you through five stages, including temple ruins, Earth's orbit and the alien moon base. You also battle massive bosses, including screen-filling UFOs and other strange enemies.

Soundtrack and achievements

The retro-synth soundtrack is composed by Yousuke Yasui. The game also supports Steam achievements.
