Our take on Burst Fighter
The defining detail is the ship-building system: 36 parts cover wings, weapons, colors, and cores, letting each loadout be adjusted for different situations and boss encounters.
What is Burst Fighter?
Burst Fighter is a shoot'em up set on Zirodia, a planet invaded by hostile mechanical aliens.
Players follow Queen Sehra as she travels toward the invaders' source on Earth. Combat centers on dodging attacks, countering enemies, and defeating distinct attack patterns across more than 8 boss battles. The ship can be modified with wings, weapons, colors, and cores, using 36 parts for different situations. A melee Blade weapon adds another combat option. The game includes local two-player co-op, three difficulty levels, chain bonuses for high scores, Steam leaderboards, achievements, and controller support.
