About Vindicators

Vindicators is a multidirectional shooter where the player controls a tank like droid against enemy forces. The objective is to eliminate fourteen space stations that form an invasion convoy threatening Earth.

Each station is divided into three sub levels that can be tackled in any sequence. Movement and combat occur on a freely scrolling playfield. Controlling the vehicle is challenging due to its deliberate steering, which complicates evasion.

Scattered energy stars within levels serve as a currency. These can be exchanged between missions for enhancements, including better armaments and increased movement speed.
