Project Ara - Crucible

About

Project Ara - Crucible throws chaotic waves of enemies at you in a fast-paced shoot 'em up. You play as Lethe Zelmiya a wizard who can't remember a thing trying to finish her final exam at a magic school. Each run changes with procedurally generated levels and randomly assigned perks. You'll upgrade abilities and gear as you fight through increasingly tough bosses and enemy patterns. The game lives up to the bullet hell label with tight dodging and quick reflexes required. Light RPG choices add variety without slowing the action. Players on forums praise the unpredictable runs and the mix of magic and combat. July 2021 release means it's been a few years but the challenge remains fresh for those who love relentless action.
