Zenvader

Zenvader is a bullet-hell roguelite shooter inspired by classic shooting games of the 1980s. You pilot a Battle Unit, humanity’s last hope, and take on an army of powerful aliens.

Choose a Battle Unit

You can pilot one of four types of Battle Unit, each with different strengths and strategies. One excels at rapid fire, another at penetrating attacks and destructive power, while another uses indirect attacks such as wall shots and missiles.

Power up and unlock weapons

Your unit starts weak. Collect orbs dropped by aliens to temporarily increase attributes such as firing rate, movement speed and damage. Defeating aliens also earns Alien Materia, which you spend at the Space Hangar to unlock weapons and permanently increase various parameters. As you fight, your unit grows stronger and can take on foes that once seemed unbeatable.

Campaign speedruns

Once your units are fully upgraded, you can try to complete campaign mode as quickly as possible. A typical clear takes around 20–25 minutes, while optimizing your movement and tactics can make a time under 10 minutes possible.
