Our take on Space Crusaders
Rather than resetting progression after each level, the game carries relic effects between levels and combines them with gear acquired during play. This makes persistent modifiers and weapon interactions part of its top-down shooter structure.
What is Space Crusaders?
Space Crusaders is a fast-paced top-down shooter about surviving an assault by demons.
Oncoming enemies attempt to destroy the player, who fights them with a chosen collection of weapons and equipment. Defeated enemies provide souls for improving the character and weapons. Relics persist between levels, while gear found and upgraded during levels modifies every weapon in the inventory. Different combinations of upgrades, weapons, and items can work together, changing attributes such as damage, health, and movement speed. Collecting relics also unlocks additional characters and weapons.
