About CYGNI: All Guns Blazing
An unrelenting onslaught of eye-popping visuals, ear bursting soundscapes and mind-melting action makes CYGNI: All Guns Blazing the vanguard for the next generation of shoot ’em ups.
Outgunned and outmanned, plunge into a sky full of hell in a last-ditch war for survival. Choose to route energy between weapons or shield systems and go up against unrelenting waves of ground and aerial enemies. Upgrade your ship and take down colossal alien bosses in visceral combat; do whatever it takes to survive.
CYGNI assaults the eyes, ears, and mind to deliver an extraordinarily exhilarating video game experience. CYGNI does not seek to reinvent shoot ’em ups but to elevate the genre to deliver the heightened sensations of a truly next-generation experience.
Encamped within the remains of a long-lost civilization on the planet CYGNI, the colony is decimated by a surprise attack from a powerful, biomechanical alien race. As one of the last pilots on one of the very few remaining carriers in the fleet, you are the only line of defense against the unyielding alien bombardment.
- With next generation visuals, animation and special effects CYGNI is a new benchmark in cinematic shoot ’em ups
- Be the lone fighter, or one of two in local co-op, battling through intensely hostile levels filled with waves of air and ground assaults
- Choose where to route energy on the fly switching between shields (defensive) or weapons systems (offensive)
- Collect energy to power up your ship and energize weaponry from hard-hitting projectiles to an array of missiles.
- Launch air-to-air and air-to-ground attacks as you traverse neon-lit metropolises, oceans and various otherworldly landscapes.
- Go one-on-one against gargantuan enemies in cinematically epic boss battles
- Full orchestral score and immersive sound design
