Developer Byteproduct has announced Sturmjäger, a fast-paced sci-fi horizontal shoot ’em up coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox, and PC. The game combines classic arcade action with modern accessibility features, offering ten handcrafted stages that span distinct visual themes, from deep space to ocean depths, each ending with a screen-filling boss fight.
Players can tackle the campaign solo or through local couch co-op designed to keep both players engaged without early game-over lockouts.
Sturmjäger features three game modes, Arcade, Mission, and Score Attack, alongside three difficulty settings to accommodate both newcomers and genre veterans.
The game emphasises high-score hunting through an aggressive scoring system that rewards proximity attacks, chains, and flawless runs o global online leaderboards. It also includes an upgradable dual-weapon system and an original soundtrack composed by Rafael Dyll.
