Retaliate

About

Retaliate is a fast paced space shooter where you start with nothing but a shield and a problem. Enemies swarm your ship while their weapons are mysteriously locked away. Your solution? Use the shield to deflect attacks and smash foes into scraps. Each destroyed enemy drops their weapon for you to claim fire and forget. The vertical scrolling design keeps the action tight and chaotic as you juggle defense offense and a galaxy full of hostiles. The twist of weapon absorption sets this apart from typical shoot em ups. Players appreciate the resource management angle of choosing which enemies to dismantle for firepower. With no multiplayer mode to distract it focuses entirely on refining this core loop. Coming to multiple platforms in mid 2024 it promises a short but sharp experience for arcade fans looking for something different. The story about weapon shortages adds context but the real hook is the shield as both tool and weapon.
