Roguelike action shoot ’em up IRA will leave Early Access and launch for PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG on October 3 for $19.99, publisher Nicalis and developer ABShot announced.
IRA first launched in Early Access via Steam on August 31, 2021. It is currently priced at $15.99.
Here is an overview of the game, via Nicalis:
In IRA, players assume the role of a young girl named Yeon who bravely battles the forces of Chaos by channeling the power of an ancient god and their apostles. Your overarching task is to locate the scattered pieces of the powerful Ira crystal—rebuilding it is the only way to defeat Chaos and restore peace. You attack by firing arrows from any of 150+ different bows, and you can earn many different kinds of power-ups, with both active and passive effects.
Developed by Korean studio ABShot with Nicalis, IRA is a unique anime-inspired shooter with procedurally generated levels and random weapon drops, ensuring a different experience each time it’s played. A key to the game’s appeal are the hypnotic “bullet hell” patterns of the enemies’ (and bosses’) attacks; their projectiles vary greatly in movement type, frequency, visual appearance, speed, size, effects and destructive power. To survive, you must quickly assess their intricate weblike geometry, seek out the short-lived gaps in between and return fire before the bullets overwhelm you.
