A downloadable game for Windows

This game is still in development and I'm constantly expanding its feature set. As I  go along I release playable increments with each development step, to illustrate the current state of the game. All playable increments can be freely downloaded and played and I would be happy about your feedback!

Lightyears of Fervent Warfare, the action RPG top-down shoot-em-up you've been waiting for! Take some Diablo (tm), some Space Battle Ship Yamato (tm) military-grade hardware, lots of good old top-down retro shooters and mash them all up to a space-tastic pulp! That is what I'm aiming for in Lightyears of Fervent Warfare!

Unlike other shoot-em-ups LoFW uses mouse and keyboard controls:

  • W, A, S, D control your ship.
  • The left mouse button fires your ship's guns.
  • The number keys trigger skills.
  • Skills can also be triggered by clicking on their buttons.
  • The action can be paused using the space bar.
  • The drone can be deployed and re-positioned using drag and drop.

I think it's good progress!

Excuse my bad pronunciation of the title.
