As a small Latvian company, we are proud to be the local indie pioneers of console releases. We wanted to enhance the traditional shmup experience, not simply through well-polished gameplay, but also by adding meaningful plot and character interactions to it”
– Elena Nazarenko, Artist of Coldwild Games.


 

After quitting their jobs, a Latvian couple publishes their second serious game on Nintendo Switch and Xbox One. The unique feature of Lazy Galaxy: Rebel Story is controlling three character ships instead of one. Rather than getting experience from kills, the characters level up by talking to each other. In the end, players get the adrenaline rush of shoot-em-ups combined with a squad-based system and meaningful conversations between characters.

Watch the Xbox trailer here:

The game features 8 different levels with unique bosses, 6 ships and 6 allies to unlock, each one of them significantly affecting the gameplay. The traditional SHMUP gameplay is also there: the main goal of each level is still to progress forward while destroying everything that moves.
