 |
This adds elements from the classic 1980 arcade game Star Castle to Transcendence. Among them include two retro 2D ships and items used by them, including a device that erects triple energy ring barriers to absorb incoming shots or repel ships. The barrier device cannot be found for sale, but to give you a chance at finding one, a bonus boss lurks somewhere in the Ungoverned Territories, carrying a valuable prize! Can you find and defeat the Star Castle Boss?Also added is an arcade mode adventure - the Star Castle Arcade! Fight waves of progressively faster Star Castles until you lose all of your ships. Score as high as you can. Minimum resolution required for Arcade mode is 1024x768. |
