In Shikon-X Astro Defense Fortress, you play as Major Daaia, the best pilot in the Federation, who, during a routine defense operation, receives a mysterious message from humanity's mortal enemy, the Rolars.
That message kick-starts an intergalactic adventure of epic proportions, where you'll visit alien planets, meet all kinds of weird and silly characters, and even discover the truth about the war and why you've been chosen to uncover it all.
You've never played an adventure game like this before! Shikon-X features streamlined controls: you only have one inventory and one interaction button, no verbs and no pixel hunting, just interact with the environment and characters, and don't worry about anything else. There are also a lot of arcade-style mini-games to enjoy along the way.
And remember, in space, no one can hear you call the hint line...
Shikon-X Astro Defense Fortress features:
Adventure game gameplay, with a twist
Shikon-X is an adventure game at heart, like Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Thimbleweed Park, and many others from the golden era of Point & Click games.
In Shikon-X's case, we trimmed down all the fat –no mouse, no verbs, no weird wheels of actions—you just interact with something, and things happen!
Arcade mini-games
The story starts with your first combat mission, and that's not just text or a video: it's a playable arcade mini-game! You'll also play a fully-featured pinball table and many other games during your adventure. And this is not just for show: every game serves a purpose, and even some story beats will develop during these scenes.
80s and 90s Saturday morning anime style
The characters and the story are inspired by series like Robotech/Macross, Cobra, Mazinger, Captain Harlock and all the cool 80s and 90s anime.
Jump into Shikon-X, the most advanced defense ship in the Federation, protect the energy capsules, and unravel a mystery so big that will change your life forever (or at least it'll entertain you for a few hours).
