From Press Release:
Tampere, Finland – November 18th – Indie developer Kimmo Lahtinen has today unleashed their eye-melting, techno-thumping twin-stick arcade game Sektori onto Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series platforms for $14.99 / £12.79 / €14.99. To commemorate the occasion, there’s an all-new Sektori launch trailer that showcases its ceaselessly transforming battlefields, high-adrenaline gameplay, kaleidoscopic visuals, and hard-hitting techno music!
In Sektori’s Campaign Mode, you’ll brave five endlessly evolving stages that reconstitute the layout of the battlefield, the waves of foes you’ll face, and even the bosses – who can radically change based on the stage you encounter them in! Slay your foes, gather their remains, and use them to select an array of upgrades for faster speed, a stronger blaster, additional shields, a bigger boost, more missiles, or a score bonus. As you evolve your ship, you can choose additional power-ups from a series of cards – and even customize your deck of potential perks! Featuring a mix of hand-crafted trials and procedural-generation, Sektori offers endlessly replayable arcade action!
The Campaign is just the beginning, as Sektori features six additional game modes, including a Classic mode, an alternate way to play that includes a wide array of mutators to reconfigure your experience into something wholly unpredictable; Surge, where players rapidly swap between underpowered and cartoonishly overpowered; Crash, where enemies can only be defeated by dashing; Assault, where you choose when to up the ante of incoming waves against a dwindling clock; Gates, where enemies can only be harmed by crossing rotating laser posts; and a good old-fashioned Boss Rush. Whether you want to perfect a scripted run, or prefer endlessly randomization, there’s something in Sektori to suit your old school arcade desire!
“Sektori is an evolution of the classic twin-stick shooter, offering a mix of randomization with deliberate strategy as you decide when to cash in your points for power-ups,” said developer Kimmo Lahtinen. “It’s classic arcade action with a smidge of roguelike DNA with the ability to spec your ship differently in each run. It’s easy to have fun right out of the gate, but there’s infinite room for improvement as you aim to tackle higher difficulties, climb the leaderboards, or just beat your own personal best attempts! But most importantly, I wanted to focus on game feel, with kaleidoscopic colors and pulsating techno beats that lock you into a hypnotic flow state.”
