About This Game

SYNTHERION is in early development and seeking pre-alpha playtesters. 

The game is a twin-stick roguelite shooter drenched in 80s neon, and driven by music. The weapon visuals, timing, and functionality are designed by-hand to go with the work of real musicians. 

Syntherion has been sub-genre morphing since its inception, but is currently settling around musical, twin-stick, shmup/bullet heaven. We need your input!

A GROWING COLLECTION OF MUSIC

The current roster of artists includes Memory Design, DREAMPOCKET, Blide Spectra, Rogue VHS, and Goobsie. Powerups, weapon, nebulas are all bound to a synthwave or darksynth music including the bass, percussion, lead, and pads.  

UNIQUE WORLDS

Each parallel verse is a themed stretch of space with its own aesthetic, enemy roster, and musical palette.

•   Neon Void — the grid. Inhabited by dangerous geometric entities.

•   Bioluminescent Reef — glowing biological swarms drifting in the deep.

•   Ancient Megastructure — unknown origin, now seized by a greedy corporation.

•   Many more on the way.

A FLEET TO COLLECT

Choose from a growing roster of ships, each a different feel: nimble strikers, heavy bruisers, and stranger experiments. Every ship comes with its own unique field emitter-- a special device with status effects and music to compliment your preferred style.
