Unleash Your Retro Arcade Skills in Shikon-X Astro Defense Fortress

Embark on an intergalactic adventure and defend humanity in this upcoming PC game from Kindermann Corp.

Get ready to venture into the vastness of space and defend humanity from otherworldly threats in the upcoming intergalactic adventure game, Shikon-X Astro Defense Fortress, set to launch on PC later this year. Developed by Kindermann Corp., this game pays homage to classic anime and retro arcade games, allowing players to flaunt their skills while embarking on an epic quest.

Step into the shoes of Major Daaia, the Federation's most skilled pilot. During a routine defense operation, Daaia receives a mysterious message from the Rolars, humanity's mortal enemies. This sets off a thrilling intergalactic adventure, taking players to awe-inspiring alien planets, introducing them to eccentric characters, and unraveling the truth behind the war with the Rolars.

Shikon-X draws inspiration from the golden era of point-and-click adventure games but streamlines the gameplay for a more accessible experience. Say goodbye to aimless mouse clicks and awkward action wheels. Instead, the game simplifies interaction with just two buttons—one for inventory and the other for interaction. With a simple click, players can engage with characters and objects, setting off a chain of events that propels the story forward.

As you progress through the adventure, be prepared to encounter various playable arcade mini-games that not only add depth to the narrative but also test your retro arcade skills. Blast away invaders in a thrilling, retro-inspired arcade shooter or serve drinks to a bar full of thirsty robots. And even in the midst of a cosmic war, take a break and enjoy a round of pinball. Shikon-X seamlessly blends these mini-games into the overarching story, creating an immersive and captivating gameplay experience.

Shikon-X Astro Defense Fortress is set to launch on PC later this year. If you can't wait to dive into the adventure, a demo is available on Steam, allowing Federation Pilots to test their defense maneuvers and get a taste of what's to come. Make sure to wishlist Shikon-X today and get ready to embark on a thrilling journey filled with galactic mysteries.
