Canyon Strike - Xbox One

Vertical shooting in a canyon

Canyon Strike is a vertical shooter for Xbox One, set in a desert canyon at dusk. You fly a strike craft up between rock walls, shooting rovers, drones and raider jets, then break through an energy barrier at the end of each section. Fuel burns steadily, so you need to collect canisters as you climb. Passing over one slowly gives you more fuel, but shooting it destroys it.

Three ways to fly

Canyon Run is a 100-level campaign split into four acts. The canyon narrows and twists as you climb, with rock pillars along the route. Fortresses guard levels 25, 50 and 75, and a final guardian waits at level 100.
