Starr Mazer: DSP

Starr Mazer: DSP is a side-scrolling shoot ’em up in which you lead a squadron of pilots through nine arcade levels. You fight waves of enemies and three powerful bosses, then take on the G’ell Super Ship, the Adamastor, in a single run. The citizens of Thersa-CPIX are at war, and your squadron—not one hero—goes into battle.

The campaign

The nine levels span three arcade-style acts. The fight moves from the surface of war-torn Thersa-CPIX to the Space Gate and into the heart of the G’ell Super Ship. Each run pits you against countless enemy waves on the way to the final ship.

Build your squadron

Before each mission, recruit and choose a team of humans, aliens and a dog. Pilots have different ships, weapon loadouts, voices and stats; you can use their weapons, stats and battle order to shape your squad. You can also discover legendary pilots, including Slimo, Bunny Killmaster and Don Thacker, each of whom gives your squadron a unique edge in battle.

Keep fighting

The game replaces the traditional lives-and-continues system with SK:ORE: there are no game overs. Spend SK:ORE earned from fallen enemies and Carbomite pickups to purchase a new squadron of pilots. Collect Carbomite from fallen foes to power up your primary fire or fuel your super weapon.
