Game Overview
Each ship in the game comes equipped with three unique weapons and a passive ability. These weapons offer the same creativity and depth of abilities found in the best MOBA games, but you will not find a single cooldown on any of them. Instead, all weapons in the game work on a charge system that builds off the damage you deal. Abilities charge fast, and playing well makes them charge even faster.
But don’t get too carried away. Zero Strain’s shoot em’ up DNA is in full effect. Enemies defend themselves and require a mix of strategies to take down. Bosses shrug off mindless spamming and demand careful observation and reaction. Bullets fill the screen and force well-timed dodges to avoid them or well-aimed shots to shoot them down. You’ll need to balance offense and defense at all times.
At first you’ll struggle, but before long, you’ll be slinging around enemies and unleashing perfectly timed weapon combos in a spectacular dance of destruction!
Features:
- Multiple ships to master, each with their own unique weapons and abilities.
- Challenging bosses that reward careful planning and quick reactions.
- Fast gameplay. No cooldowns. The only limit is your own skill.
