Featuring a unique combination of top-down planetary exploration and side-shooting space battles, Sigma Star Saga lets you dress up as Allied Earth Federation pilot Ian Recker, who infiltrates the alien Wing Empire as a double agent in a last-ditch effort to save humanity from their rushes. To do this, you must cooperate with humans and Krill, exploring six planets using an ever-expanding set of tools and abilities, and jump into the cockpit and engage enemy forces in intense, skirmish-style combat using over 70 different Gun Data items. . Beautiful pixel-art graphics, epic boss battles and a story full of twists and turns with multiple endings await.
