Torn Skies is a software that depicts a world where a furious and oppressive civilization dominates the skies.
"Torn Skies" is a dynamic up-scrolling action game that transports you to an oppressive civilization that rules the skies with an iron fist. While promoting democracy and freedom, these rulers use their massive arsenal of weapons as 'protective' dogs, leaving no room for true democracy. As a player, you will assume the role of a rebel fighter and take on the oppressive government's forces to restore democracy to the skies.
The game's classic up-scroller gameplay has been modernized with the inclusion of randomly generated levels that keep the game fresh and exciting each time you play. You can expect to encounter a variety of enemies that will test your skills and challenge you in unique ways. But fear not, for you will have a variety of playable ships at your disposal, each with their own amount of health, style of canons, and special 'overdrive' ability.
One of the unique features of "Torn Skies" is the ability to switch between any of your ships at will. With each ship having its own health meter but sharing the same over-drive amount, you must be careful where you spend your overdrive abilities not to let your most capable ships get destroyed right away. For every enemy you destroy, the overdrive meter gets refilled a small amount.
To aid you in your quest, enemies will occasionally drop power-ups that can replenish your current ship's health, completely replenish your overdrive meter, or act as bombs that take out any and all nearby enemies.
"Torn Skies" is created by Derek Arndt and Chris Emery and is available as a freebie. The game's system requirements are not too steep and can run on Radeon 7000 (original eMac+) or GeForce 2MX (iMac G4+) or greater.
In summary, if you're a fan of up-scrolling action games with modern elements, "Torn Skies" is a must-play. With its unique gameplay mechanics, variety of playable ships, and randomized levels, this game will keep you engaged and entertained for hours. So grab your rebel fighters and take on the oppressive rulers of the skies today!
