Our take on Rise High
Instead of treating construction as background scenery, the game makes workers active protection targets during each alien attack. Its structure also steps outside standard arcade scoring by adding rescue objectives and a separate player-versus-player dogfight mode.
What is Rise High?
Defend workers as they construct skyscrapers during an alien invasion.
Rise High presents 30 levels of arcade action with alien enemies, power-ups, worker rescues, bosses, and infected buildings. Workers can be abducted, adding rescue objectives to the fighting. The game offers three difficulty settings, single-player play, and two-player cooperative gameplay. A separate two-player dogfight mode lets players attack one another in the air. Online leaderboards, achievements, and Steam trading cards provide additional progression and records. Controls support both controllers and keyboards.
