CYGNI: All Guns Blazing
Playing as a pilot on the distant planet of CYGNI, where humanity's last colony is under siege by an alien race, the game challenges you to balance offense and defense in a high-stakes battle for survival. With power allocation between weapons and shields, the gameplay requires quick thinking and precision—perfect for both solo players and those looking to climb the global leaderboard. Should also be great playing on Steam Deck (I haven't tried though)
🎮 Enjoy the Review!
