Earthion - PlayStation 5 - Ancient, Limited Run Games

Return to authentic 16-bit shoot ’em up action with a standout soundtrack by Yuzo Koshiro.

Earthion delivers a retro 2D shooter experience built on actual 16-bit hardware, featuring eight action-packed stages, frenetic visuals, and explosive special effects as you fight to save humanity's future on PlayStation 5.

Set in a future where Earth's resources are depleted and most of humanity has fled to Mars, hostile invaders strike back. You play as environmental researcher Azusa Takanashi, piloting the state-of-the-art space fighter YK-IIA to mount a critical counterattack.

Designed by Ancient, Earthion combines classic shoot ’em up mechanics with modern design: destroy enemy craft, collect resources to enhance your ship, and deploy a variety of subweapons to adapt your strategy. Play through the main story or test your skills in Challenge Mode, and enjoy the in-game Music Player featuring a soundtrack composed by Yuzo Koshiro.

Add Earthion to your collection and experience a faithful new entry in the 16-bit shooter tradition.
