Coming to iOS and Android this year, Thyrian Defenders is a frantic vertical shump, pitting your upgradeable jet against waves of projectiles and enemy ships.

Above frozen lakes, rocky wastes, the void of space, and other locations, you weave between bullets and fight back with precise ammo and powerful abilities. Helper drones, armor, lasers, and other upgrades let you handle more damage and clear the screen faster.

While the gameplay is the core of Thyrian Defenders, the game plans to also feature an involved story, featuring a galaxy-spanning journey that follows your pilot Taz as he gets pulled into a sprawling conflict between various factions.

Thyrian Defenders will be releasing sometime in 2017, on iPad, iPhone, and Android devices. You can learn more about the game on the developer's blog.
