Revolgear Zero

Revolgear Zero is a fast-paced arcade-style shooter about two rival pilots who join forces to defend their world from a cosmic threat. You pilot the space fighters Pheasant or Dove, battle enemies and bosses, and customize your ships with weapons and equipment. The game supports local co-op, including a Duo Play Mode, and offers several game modes and high-score challenges.

Story and characters

On the remote planet Ribor, humanity created the Revolgear, an advanced space fighter flown by its strongest pilots. When Xeno, a malevolent force believed to come from beyond a black hole, threatens the planet, Shizuku and Akane are brought together to stop it. Their rivalry gives way to friendship through a psychic bond formed in their ships, and they uncover personal truths as they fight in a universe torn by war.

Shizuku is a genetically engineered super pilot with a fleeting lifespan. She likes hamburgers and playing video games. Akane is an ace pilot from an elite military family who enjoys sweets and performing magic tricks.

Combat and customization

Use precise movement, choose weapons strategically and fight to earn extra lives and raise your score. The Bit Shoot launches a boomerang-style melee attack, while the burst system fires a powerful energy beam. You can unlock and combine other weapons and load-outs to customize your fighter, with over 2,000 possible equipment combinations.

Modes and challenges

The game has two main modes and six possible endings. Boost Mode lets you change game rules, play cooperatively or take on high-score challenges. Mission Mode includes 30 challenges built around different weapons and techniques. An unlock shop lets you spend in-game currency on custom weapons and gear.

Stages and extras

There are seven stages, each playable at one of four difficulty levels, with designs ranging from menacing mechs to mystical dragons. The two main characters have voice acting, and their dialogue changes with the situation. Local co-op is available, and certain modes also support an algorithmic AI partner. The game also includes the bonus game God of Cats and in-game achievements.
