Vanguard

Vanguard is an exhilarating shoot ’em up game that takes players on an adventurous journey through five diverse zones leading to the enigmatic City of Mystery, where the formidable creature Gond awaits to be defeated. Each zone features a mix of horizontal and vertical gameplay, teeming with unique enemies to challenge players at every turn. Take caution, as colliding with enemies, projectiles, or walls will cost you a life. Luckily, players can collect special power-ups that grant temporary invincibility, helping them navigate the chaos.

What sets the shooting mechanics apart in this title is the ability to fire in all four directions, based on the ship’s steering. However, this also means players must carefully maneuver, as the ship will move in the direction it fires, potentially leading to crashes against obstacles. Fuel management adds another layer of challenge, as players must keep their tank full by taking down foes. Once Gond is finally vanquished, players are rewarded with a new adventure as the game resets at a heightened difficulty level, ensuring a thrilling experience every time!
