Have you ever thought to yourself while playing a shooting game - "This game is great but all I can do is shoot, dodge, bomb, hyper... If I'm controlling a ship/cute anime girl there has to be more stuff I can do. Something that every vehicle in a game should have. Something loud and clear."
In fact, there is not a single shooting game with a feature like that. You can find it in racing games, simulators, some sandboxes, but never in a shooting game. Such ruthless discrimination! But it ends today.
The Nullschwert Demo has been updated with one significant feature that, once the long awaited fool release graces us, will certainly ascend the game over its direct competitors. Here is the list of all changes:
