Kestrel PC

Travel through diverse worlds as Kestrel to ascend the highest cosmic order while battling hostile entities. Gather rhombic shards to buy upgrades and wield stronger weapons in this top-down shoot'em up blending bullet hell and RPG elements. Skip the auto-scroll of typical genre entries-rely on patience and strategy instead of raw speed. With over 50 upgrades and infinite lives, the fly-shoot-die-upgrade loop sets you up to push forward on PC. Xbox controllers or keyboard/mouse handle movement with WASD or joystick, firing via A button or left click, and dark mode toggles easily. Players who favor thoughtful progression in action RPG adventures will find their match here.

NOW WITH DARK MODE OPTION!

As Kestrel, you will travel through different worlds in an attempt to reach the highest order of the cosmos. You will fend off the many entities trying to stop you. Collect the rhombic shards spread across the different worlds to purchase upgrades and equip more powerful weapons.

In a departure from the typical shoot'em up, Kestrel does not force the auto-scroll mechanic that is present in the majority of the genre. Patience and strategy win out over speed and brute force.

With over 50 upgrades and infinite lives, Kestrel puts you in a position for success. A top down shoot'em up with bullet hell and RPG elements, Kestrel attempts to scratch an itch that you might know you have. Fly, shoot, die, upgrade, repeat.
