SYNTHERION is a twin-stick roguelite shooter drenched in 80s neon, synthesizer music, and action that's tightly synced to the player's actions. Nail the timing to make basic weapons give way to synthwave powerups, each one adding a layer to a live mi.
Pick your ship, get out there, and make the cosmos sing.
EVERY WEAPON IS A SYNTH
Powerups, weapon, nebulas are all bound to a synthwave or darksynth audio loop including the bass, percussion, lead, and pads. Space-warping anomalies appear on the map in regular intervals. Dash into one on-beat to add the next instrument's firepower to your ensemble.
UNIQUE WORLDS
Each parallel verse is a themed stretch of space with its own aesthetic, enemy roster, and musical palette.
Neon Void — the grid. Inhabited by dangerous geometric entities.
Bioluminescent Reef — glowing biological swarms drifting in the deep.
Ancient Megastructure — unknown origin, now seized by a greedy corporation.
Many more on the way.
A FLEET TO COLLECT
