With a glut of game announcements, trailers, and showcases dropping this summer, it is easy for interesting games to slip through the cracks. I came across one such game a few weeks ago and have been meaning to share it with the Gaming Nexus audience ever since. That game is twin-stick shoot ‘em up CYGNI: All Guns Blazing from Scottish developer Keel Works and publisher Konami.
CYGNI is labelled as a next-gen shmup with “eye-popping visuals”, according to the game’s website, and based on the gameplay I’ve seen, it is hard to argue with that. As one of the only surviving pilots of a colony decimated by a surprise alien attack, you are the last line of defense against the invaders as you blast through hordes of enemies and giant bosses.
As a huge fan of Housemarque’s shoot 'em ups like Super Stardust Delta and Nex Machina, you can go ahead and inject this right into my veins. Check out the gameplay trailer and key features below. CYGNI: All Guns Blazing launches August 6th for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
