Mirage Feathers

Mirage Feathers is an anime-themed pseudo-3D rail shooter. You play as Notari, a cybernetic air-superiority fighter in the Federation's FEATHER program, battling waves of enemy aircraft with unlimited ammunition. Her advanced fire-control system locks onto targets as they pass the crosshair, and her attacks home in on locked targets.

Story

Notari and Miroita are best friends and two of the FEATHERs created at the Institute. When Miroita disappears, Notari fights on, unsure whether the Institute, the military or the Federation took her. Her only companion is Luciolla, an AI created by Miroita. Luciolla tells Notari that Miroita is alive, giving her a reason to keep going and find her friend. Then someone else appears.

The story follows Notari and Miroita beyond the battles through text-based dialogue and character art. Notari is outgoing, hot-tempered and fiercely independent, often frustrated by the world around her and willing to act. Miroita is calm, obedient and reserved, and tends to be cautious; she often relies on Notari for confidence, though her abilities match Notari's. Luciolla is an intelligent planner focused on gathering information, and helps Notari in combat by invading enemy systems. Though she originated in Miroita's mind, her personality is quite different, and she speaks like a person. The Professor leads the Institute and created both FEATHERs. She was hard on them but cared deeply for them, though Notari did not see it that way.

Weapons and OVERDRIVE

As the story progresses, Luciolla obtains weapon specifications from stronger opponents, giving Notari additional main weapons with different effects and playstyles. FEATHERs can also unleash OVERDRIVE, a burst of power that can destroy everything in sight. While OVERDRIVE is active, the weapons system performs better and all attacks are strengthened.

Game modes

Story Mode has scripted levels and develops the characters through dialogue outside combat. Endless Mode gives you access to the full arsenal and sends progressively more challenging enemies in infinite, randomly spawned waves.
