Skip it if you…

- Players looking for multiplayer action may not find the described fighter-focused format suitable.
Our take on ZeroRanger
The emphasis on vertically scrolling shooting and dodging keeps the game focused, but limits room for other gameplay types. Its 4-stage structure also makes the campaign compact, with progression and mystery supplying variation within that format.
What is ZeroRanger?
ZeroRanger is a vertically scrolling 2D shoot ’em up about a fighter facing an invasion by GREEN ORANGE.
Play centres on shooting and dodging while moving through 4 stages of action. Progression unlocks weapons and abilities as the fighter’s latent potential emerges. The story also develops a mystery about the adversary’s true nature. Two secondary fighters remain, and the game presents an endless cycle of life and death. Options include screen rotation, scanlines, a colourblind mode, and unlockable extra palettes.
