A vertical-scrolling shoot 'em up with roguelite runs and a music-layering twist. Each weapon fires on a beat grid, building a live synthwave track from your loadout choices.

Syntherion takes the sprawling experience of AAA sci-fi games like Elite Dangerous, compresses it into a 2D top-down shooter, and soaks it in an 80s retro aesthetic. Every weapon in the game produces complimenting synthesizer music. Your power core lays down the beat, shields drone in the background, beam weapons sing the melody. When you toggle your loadout mid-fight, you're mixing a synthwave track in real time. Choose your ship, head into the chaosPick from a growing collection of ships in your hangar, each with distinct stats and configurations. Then launch into a musical cosmos of procedurally built levels across distinct themed worlds called Verses. Neon voids, bioluminescent reefs, and monolithic structures await.In 1-4 player co-op, branching portals let you and your team split up and reconverge freely mid-run, no menus, no loading screens. Where we areSyntherion is in pre-alpha, currently in friends and family testing, and it already has four unique Verses with themed enemies, five playable ships, and over 40 ship components. We're just getting started.
