Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Hello TA, I'm super proud to announce the sequel to Icarus-X coming to iPad this spring This time it comes with a Roguelike/Diablo twist: leveling, loot, skill trees and a perma-death mode. And for those who hate lifebars in their shmups, a traditional 1-bullet-death Arcade mode is there too! CAMPAIGN MODE Choose from 3 ship classes, gain experience up to level 30, loot randomly generated weapons, shields and mods from your enemies and carefully spend points in non-resetable skill trees. Make your own challenge: overwhelm lower level enemies with devastating firepower, min-max your ship's stats to quickly farm a specific chapter for rare loot, or bite all that you can chew and risk losing it all in hardcore mode. Randomly generated enemy waves 3 sub-modes: Casual (no death penalty), Normal and Hardcore (perma-death) 3 ship classes: Fighter, Cruiser and Destroyer 30 levels of ship experience 15+ stats to min-max, such as Critical Damage, Armor, Shield Regeneration, Hitbox Size and more 3 skill trees (Attack, Defense and Technology) Evolutive special powers Billions of randomly generated items with 4 quality tiers and according rarity 4 tiers of difficulty World ranking ARCADE MODE 1 bullet death: no life bars or shield shenanigans Chain scoring: combos increase your score multiplier 1CC scoring: you can continue when out of lives but your score and chain will reset In-game power-ups COMMON FEATURES Replays Leaderboards Achievements Original soundtrack You can find plenty of screenshots and a couple gameplay videos (Trailer still to come!) on the website: www.icarus-x.com Your feedback is much appreciated!
Wouldn't a touch controlled bullet hell game be a crime to survive on a smaller screen then? Just curious, i dont play many bullet hell games myself
Please be patient, there is definitely a universal release down the road, I just can't give an ETA yet It does makes things a bit harder The reason for not going universal right away are more UI related though.
ohhhh a shmup with loot and levelling! just what i was looking for! please make it premium? OR free with a premium iap unlock?
Great news, thanks. Patience is my middle name concerning ios releases. Good question ramzarules. I hope they're not going the ugly timer route as...ha, already forgot the game's name. Great story of an always cloned warrior...nevermind.
woot, thannks for the reply! Another instabuy from me, this could be the premium Gemini Strike i was wishing for! I will never be as good as the trailer, but i still love these games
