About this game

ARKADIANAX

ARKADIANAX is a passion project developed by Ale Navarro between 2011 and 2013 during late nights after work, using an old-school game engine and fueled by pure love for classic retro games from the Atari era.

Blast your way through hordes of enemy ships, tanks, minefields, laser beams, giant bosses, deadly software bugs, and multidimensional chaos in a shoot ’em up adventure unlike anything you've seen before.

As the pilot of the legendary ARKADIANAX, battle against both 2D and 3D enemies blended together in a whirlwind of nostalgic and modern gameplay. Upgrade your spaceship, power up your cannons, and destroy everything standing in your way.

Discover a colorful multidimensional universe inspired by the golden age of arcade gaming, where quick reflexes and old-school skills are the key to survival. Fire bullets, bombs, and massive fists of fury in this explosive retro-inspired shmup adventure.

ARKADIANAX is a relatively small indie game created with enormous passion and love for the golden era of arcade gaming.

How many references and tributes to classic 1980s games can you discover throughout this multidimensional journey?

Features

Single-player and local co-op campaign — Grab an extra controller and a friend, and get ready to have twice the fun!
8 intense playable levels full of action, surprises, and multidimensional chaos
Password system to unlock small combat boosts at the beginning of levels
Full controller support — Defend the universe from the comfort of your couch!
Intro and Outro available in both English and Spanish — ¡Viva la nostalgia!
Tons of different enemies inspired by the classic games of our childhood
Original 8-bit inspired soundtrack to fuel your journey
Steam Achievements
Minor improvements and enhancements compared to the original 2013 release
Secrets, surprises, and multidimensional madness everywhere

Important Gamepad Notice

Wired Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers are fully supported. Most generic USB controllers work great as well. Some wireless devices may not work properly, depending on the model.

Important Local Co-op Notice

Due to technical limitations, local co-op requires two controllers connected at the same time. Keyboard + controller combinations are not supported. Co-op mode features more enemies, tougher encounters, and a whole lot of fun!

Originally released in 2013 on the now-defunct Desura and approved through Steam Greenlight back in 2012, the game spent many years dangerously close to remaining forever trapped in Steam’s “Coming Soon” limbo.

Thankfully, longtime players continued showing genuine interest in playing ARKADIANAX again, and an invitation to Bullet Fest helped finally bring the project back to life.

This Steam version also includes several minor improvements, gameplay tweaks, bug fixes, and additional polish compared to the original release.

I truly hope you can connect with the retro spirit of the game and enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it from the heart.

Now, ARKADIANAX is finally ready to test your skills.

Are YOU the pilot this universe needs?
