Cosmonator is an 'RPG-em-up': a hybrid of classic fast-paced top-down shmup action infused with deep character building elements. Slowly build up your ship to suit your particular playing style: perhaps you prefer a passive build that focusses on high firepower, strong sideships, specially customised homing missiles and a drone that fires automatically at any moving enemies? Or a tank build with strong shields, armor, and defensive special abilities? Or a spellcaster with numerous devastating special attacks - and the ability to control time? Each weapon, upgrade, ability and spell in Cosmonator is separately customisable so you can build up exactly the character you want. Add to this a massive level content, including a legion of epic boss battles, and you're guaranteed to keep coming back for more - even after the first playthrough. FEATURES: 30+ passive upgrades including various firepower and missile upgrades, sideship upgrades, drone upgrades, shield and armor upgrades, and a variety of special feats - allowing you to craft a customised build that suits your desired play style 40+ unique spells that can be upgraded to various strengths; some spells can be augmented to alter their effects in specific ways 40 hand-crafted levels that shape the core of the game 20 extra optional challenge levels More than 15 epic boss battles 5 difficulty levels, from 'Rookie' to 'Impossible' An endless roguelike gauntlet mode that continuously increases in difficulty and measures your ability against other players on the leaderboards Controller support

Press reviews: “Old school arcade-shoot-em-up thrills and a deep RPG-style progression system... a very impressive RPG-em-up!” AlphaBetaGamer “Feels like the sequel that Tyrian never had... the power-up system runs deep, the challenge ramps up nicely to take advantage of the player learning how to exploit it, and the levels keep coming up with new enemies and challenges to keep you on your toes.” Hardcore Gamer
