Overview and Gameplay
A biological nightmare spreads across the planet Iccus, transforming its winged inhabitants into grotesque creatures. You control Wor, a battle-trained warrior sent to purge the corruption through a series of horizontally scrolling stages filled with organic and mechanical enemies.
The gameplay focuses on steady progression through six stages, each ending with large multi-phase bosses that fill the screen with patterned attacks. Players collect power-ups that strengthen shots and shift attack behavior, creating a gradual rise in offensive capability as the challenge intensifies.
