Viral Reload EX

Viral Reload EX is a game about fighting deadly viruses and mechanical hybrids. In 2063, Kyle Kaboom kidnaps his former bandmates from Chainsaw Cannonball and infects them with deadly viruses. Strapped into the Viral Unit, Bimmy and Octo fight the infections while tracking Kyle down and trying to stop him from destroying the moon. You dash through bullets, lasers and enemies to stay alive and score points.

Game modes

Story Mode lets you defend Earth at your own pace, retry stages, practice bosses and follow the story. Arcade Mode challenges you to clear the game in one run and earn extra lives and a shield power-up to help against the virus swarm. Boss Rush Mode unlocks after you beat Story Mode; it sends you through every boss in a continuous loop, with the fights growing more challenging.

Multiplayer and scores

In Alternating V.S. Multiplayer, you can compete with a friend for a high score or help each other through the story. An online leaderboard ranks players worldwide.

Customization and accessibility

You can change the screen borders, use the Lottes CRT filter and play with full Tate support on a vertical monitor. Accessibility features let you adjust the experience if bullets are hard to see against the backgrounds or holding or repeatedly pressing the fire button is tiring. The game can also be set to use a credit button instead of Free Play on a home arcade cabinet running a PC.
