Dans la galaxie de Kotiro, de valeureux héros affrontent les bots mécaniques déments appelés Spiral pour s'emparer du précieux Black Sand. Ce shooter indie casual déploie 25 niveaux à travers cinq environnements, mêlant une narration portée par des dialogues, des révélations inattendues et une fin espiègle. Les joueurs incarnent Tilda, qui déverse un flot de balles automatique avec son arme de base, complété par 15 armes spéciales disséminées dans les stages.
Les contrôles PC précis brillent avec WASD et barre d'espace pour une action réactive, complétés par les flèches et les manettes, et alimentent la compétition sur 25 classements locaux et en ligne. Une piste dédiée accompagne chaque niveau avec guitares, basse, batterie et voix. Les joueurs passionnés en quête de profondeur narrative, de défis shoot 'em up fluides et d'art concept déblocable y trouveront un vent de fraîcheur.
For over 300 years, the five planets of the Kotiro galaxy and its citizens have struggled under the heavy hand of maniacal, mechanical bots called Spiral. As the metallic army's relentless pursuit of the resource Black Sand begins ramping up exponentially, a few brave heroes decide to fight back.
Enter Black Sand Drift: A wholly unique shooter built from the ground up with the PC in mind. So what makes this SHMUP stand out from the crowd? Well, to begin with, there is a heavy emphasis on characters and story; and through the 25 levels spanning 5 different locals, the dialog driven narrative will play out with lots of interesting and strange revelations culminating in a spectacularly whimsical finale.
Created with the keyboard in mind, using the WASD in combination with the SPACEBAR feels tight and responsive; a must for any game challenging you with leaderboards. And because there are 25 separate local and online boards to tackle, you will appreciate the smooth controls. The ARROW keys and CONTROLLER support are also available as alternatives!
The music consists of 25 tracks—1 for each level—featuring guitars, bass, drums and vocals; a rarity for such games of the same creed. Every aspect of Black Sand Drift has been intentionally tweaked to present you with something wholly unique from anything you've played before.
Between the music, controls, graphics, breadth of story and overall experience, I hope you find something here that truly inspires and evokes the emotions we all crave as dedicated gamers. Thank you for checking out Black Sand Drift!
The Tilda’s default weapon's system fires an automatic stream of bullets, giving the player a means to fight the deadly Spiral forces. However, this is not the only weapon at your disposal; there are also 15 powerful Special Weapons spread out among the 25 levels.
