DRAINUS is a side-scrolling shooting game set in a futuristic world where the Kharlal Empire rules the galaxy. Irina, born a slave on the planet Halpax, heads for her home planet after her father falls seriously ill. She meets a time-traveling frog-form named Ghenie and is informed that an intergalactic war is about to begin. She hijacks Drainus, a ship that can absorb and reflect enemy attacks, and sets out with Ghenie to overthrow the Kharlal Empire and find her father.
DRAINUS is a unique twist on traditional shooters. Similar to "Ikaruga", the player can only absorb light energy attacks. These absorbed energy bullets accumulate in a meter and are released as a counterattack. Some of the energy bullets are also stored in energy tanks and used for shooting variants, secondary attacks, and shield upgrades, allowing for a wide variety of play styles.
The game also features stunning pixel-art with multi-layered stages and multi-level bosses. The soundtrack also pays homage to the greats while featuring its own unique electronic style to complete this package.
