Check out the Sektori release date trailer
In Sektori's Campaign Mode, you'll brave five endlessly evolving stages that reconstitute the layout of the battlefield, the waves of foes you'll face, and even the bosses - who can radically change based on the stage you encounter them in! Slay your foes, gather their remains, and use them to select an array of upgrades for faster speed, a stronger blaster, additional shields, a bigger boost, more missiles, or a score bonus. As you evolve your ship, you can choose additional power-ups from a series of cards - and even customize your deck of potential perks! Featuring a mix of hand-crafted trials and procedural-generation, Sektori offers endlessly replayable arcade action!
The Campaign is just the beginning, as Sektori features six additional game modes, including a Classic mode, an alternate way to play that includes a wide array of mutators to reconfigure your experience into something wholly unpredictable; Surge, where players rapidly swap between underpowered and cartoonishly overpowered; Crash, where enemies can only be defeated by dashing; Assault, where you choose when to up the ante of incoming waves against a dwindling clock; Gates, where enemies can only be harmed by crossing rotating laser posts; and a good old-fashioned Boss Rush. Whether you want to perfect a scripted run, or prefer endlessly randomization, there's something in Sektori to suit your old school arcade desire!
FEATURES:
A five world campaign mode with dynamically changing levels and tons of enemy variation - including evolving bosses
Alternate ships and configurable upgrade decks to mold your run with
Three difficulty modes suited for all players, including a "Revolution" campaign mode for maximal challenge
Six alternate game modes, like Surge, Gates and Classic
Varied selection of challenges and achievements
"With Sektori I wanted to create a shoot'em up where every run feels familiar, but is still completely unique," said developer Kimmo Lahtinen. "A game of skill, not memorization. The hand crafted attack waves, levels and even the bosses are combined and randomized and layered with the upgrade systems in a way that creates an interesting challenge for every run. The aesthetics of the game are very much inspired by techno music. Fast, detailed, colorful, saturated, intense, aggressive. Dive in, take on the challenge as it comes and have fun!"
