Buy Wings of Bluestar PC key

Wings of Bluestar is a horizontal shoot ’em up in which you defend space from the last wave of an enemy that was once mankind’s ally: a mysterious, intelligent artificial life form. You play as enhanced trainee pilot Aya or veteran pilot Zarak, fighting through enemy waves to save mankind and learn more about yourself and your enemy. The game has eight stages, with both horizontal and vertical scrolling.

Ships and combat

Aya and Zarak each fly a ship with its own controls, weapon upgrades, scoring system, speed, protection and firepower. A risk-and-reward scoring system shapes high-score runs, while large bosses use varied attack patterns. The combat combines classic horizontal arcade shoot ’em up play with bullet-hell elements.

Story and endings

Story Mode adds short visual-novel phases between stages. You make dialogue choices, and, when certain conditions are met, those choices can influence the story and lead to different endings.

Game modes

The game includes Arcade, Story, Boss Rush and Training modes. Boss Rush pits you against bosses under a timer. You can play alone or in local multiplayer for two players.

Visuals and design
