RYFT STRIKE: BRIGHTER TOMORROW

A televised war

RYFT STRIKE: BRIGHTER TOMORROW is a bullet-hell shoot ’em up set on day 412 of a war staged for television. After the Accord governing territory over the flooded seas breaks, the sides sell broadcast rights to fund the fighting. You fly as Lt. Vesper, the Concord’s newest star, in a fighter jet that’s also a small pink creature named Blippy.

Bullet-hell combat

Missions use vertical and horizontal stages, with dense bullet patterns and bosses that fight in phases. Large bosses announce named spell cards before filling the screen with their attacks. Capture a card without being hit or using a bomb to earn its bonus.
