SCHAR: Blue Shield Alliance comes packed with an original story spanning 36 missions, as well as nine survival missions, four ship classes, tons of ship upgrades, and plenty of couch co-op action for up to four players. In classic SHMUP fashion, players will fight hundreds of on-screen enemies as they furiously battle across the universe.
Features
- The game features a unique mechanic called the salvage system which governs your objectives in the levels, your upgrades between levels, and provides a scoring mechanic.
