Description

An unrelenting onslaught of eye-popping visuals, ear bursting soundscapes and mind-melting action makes CYGNI the vanguard for the next generation of Shoot-em Ups.

Outgunned and outmanned, plunge into a sky teeming with danger in a last-ditch battle for survival. Choose to route power between weapons or shield systems and go up against unrelenting waves of ground and aerial enemies. Upgrade your ship by picking up new tech and take down colossal alien bosses in visceral combat; do whatever it takes to survive.

CYGNI is an exhilarating space shooter elevating the genre to a truly next-generation experience.

Encamped within the remains of a long-lost civilization on the planet CYGNI, Earth forces are decimated by a surprise attack from a powerful, biomechanical, alien race. As one of the last pilots on the last carrier in the fleet, you are the only line of defence against the unyielding alien bombardment.

CYGNI Features:
• With next generation visuals, animation and special effects, CYGNI is a cinematic shoot'em up.
• Be the lone fighter battling through intensely hostile levels filled with waves of air and ground assaults.
• Choose where to route power on the fly switching between shields (defensive) or weapons systems (offensive).
• Collect energy to power up your ship and energise weaponry from hard-hitting nukes to inescapable vortex bombs.
• Launch air-to-air and air-to-ground attacks as you traverse neon-lit metropolises, moon-like landscapes and even outer space.
• Go one-on-one against gargantuan enemies in cinematically epic boss battles.
• Full orchestral score and immersive sound design.

Debated whether to buy this game or not with all the mixed reviews. Picked it up on sale and still regret spending the dough. Cygni is a pretty short game and should probably take 3 to 4 hours to complete with all the

I love bullet hell shooters but this is not one of them. The attack patterns from regular enemies is all over the place. There is almost no window to avoid them unless you literally kill all of them as soon as they

A vapid, shallow and weak shmup cloaked in a beautiful patina, Cygni solves the riddle of “make me a shmup without telling me you’ve never played one.” Leaderboards are restricted to the 2-3h arcade runs and not

Visuals are great. Bosses are great....way too many enemies. Took me several attempts on EASY to beat the first level. If they overhauled the levels to cut back on so so so so many enemies, I'd be happy to pick it back

The shmup for people who hate shumps. This game is wonderful to play as a casual bullet hell fan. I set it to easy and sat back and took in the incredible graphics and fast gameplay. Bought it on sale for about $9. Was

Game is eh.. Cinematics are great, you wouldn't think that this was a small team from watching some of the cutscenes, the music is nice too. But does it hold up as a good shmup/bullet hell? IMO no. The graphical style
