NEMESIS HAS ARRIVED.
A love letter to the glorious excess of 1980s coin-op arcades—hand-built with a modern edge.
Take the controls of an intrepid pilot and fight through seven hostile sectors. Destroy fortified Draconian bases, rescue the lost Archons, and outmaneuver enemies that won't wait patiently to be shot.
This is old-school arcade combat with deeper secrets for the curious. The story is there when you want it—and skippable when you just want to blast things.
