“Shoot-em-up based on the Amiga classic”

Sometimes there's nothing better than a good old space shoot'em up. Warblade is an updated version of the Amiga classic called Galaga.

Of the 100 levels available in the game, 75 are at least identical to those you'll find in Galaga. Otherwise the game offers updated graphics, more bonuses and special effects. Your goal is like in any typical space shoot'em up, to shoot down enemy ships and beat the end of level bosses. The game can get quite challenging with enemy fire all over the screen and alien ships racing at you.

To make Warblade work properly you'll have to ensure that your graphics card is good enough. Don't worry though, if your computer can take games with higher end graphics then it will have no trouble with Warblade.

If you like shoot'em ups and you're a big fan of arcade games you'll enjoy playing Warblade. However you'll probably find the game gets a bit repetitive after a while.

Warblade is an updated and improved version of Galaga, a classic Amiga futuristic shoot'em up.

Breaking news: An alien race is invading the earth and you must try to save humanity. That's the very simple plot of the game, based on the popular Galaga space shooter. It boasts fast arcade fun and lots of adrenaline pumping action. The game runs under DirectX and will take advantage of all your hardware.

The game uses some of the new possibilities that a powerful pc graphics card can offer. Fast blitting with rotation and scaling, alphablended gfx for flare effects. Lots of new secrets are added. New subgame and a powerful profile system that will unlock new features as you progress through the game.
