We first reported on the new twin-stick shooter Sektori back in October. The retro-inspired blastfest is now out on Steam, PS5, and Xbox, priced at $14.99, and has been receiving lots of positive feedback. To commemorate the launch, developer Kimmo Lahtinen has released a new trailer that shows off the high-adrenaline gameplay, kaleidoscopic visuals, and hard-hitting techno music.

In Sektori’s Campaign Mode, players’ll brave five endlessly evolving stages that reconstitute the layout of the battlefield, the waves of foes they’ll face, and even the bosses, who can radically change based on the stage they’re encountered in. As they evolve their ship, players can choose additional power-ups from a series of cards and customize their deck of potential perks. 

“Sektori is an evolution of the classic twin-stick shooter, offering a mix of randomization with deliberate strategy as you decide when to cash in your points for power-ups,” said developer Kimmo Lahtinen. “It’s classic arcade action with a smidge of roguelike DNA, with the ability to spec your ship differently in each run. It’s easy to have fun right out of the gate, but there’s infinite room for improvement as you aim to tackle higher difficulties, climb the leaderboards, or just beat your own personal best attempts! But most importantly, I wanted to focus on game feel, with kaleidoscopic colors and pulsating techno beats that lock you into a hypnotic flow state.”
