Hellsinker. Free Download

A legendary SHMUP influential to the best makers in the genre, Hellsinker is now available on steam in its most advanced form! A mindbogglingly deep gameplay experience that gets deeper as your skill progresses. Intense boss battles one after another. Fragmented and epodic lore texts leave the player to piece together a story for themselves. Gameplay, story, graphics, and even music all united into one cohesive and highly dimensional Shoot-em-up! The world was long ago split in two by the sudden collapse of an advanced civilization and the destruction of the ancient and powerful core mechanism that reigned over it it. A band of those who have great stake in the remains, studiers of the various surviving artifacts of the lost civilization. Each member’s fate was once connected to the remains in some way. Watchers that live only in obsession. An obsession to sever the fate they are bonded by. Agents who exist as “Those who must go to the place they are meant to go”. The ceaseless echos of a severed past. Their devotion is a torch that renders through the darkness and guides them toward their final duty. The ruins to which they are all bound to by fate…have yet again appeared on the surface world. Adaptive on-the-fly strategy and an awareness of your position and targets will also be critical to success.
