What would you get If you mixed Gradius, Metroid, Playboy and Commander Keen with each other? Probably DarkFalzX “Ultionus” (for PC, MAC and Linux).

At least that´s what I thought when I saw the trailer for the game just now.

Because the female hero “Serena S” sure looks like some kind of Playboy amazon warrior (or something like that).

But i can look beyond all that because of  two things. 1. The game Is really good, and 2. Jake ‘Virt’ Kaufman have made a great soundtrack for Ultionus.

So imo, Ultionus is worth every single penny! (4,89 Euro via Steam).

About Ultionus:
Galactic hero Serena S has been trolled on Spacebook. This is obviously a cause to embark on an epic quest to punish the troll in question, who just happens to be The Space Prince. Guide Serena through 7 stages of shmup action, jumping, shooting, and yet decidedly more jumping and shooting to her ultimate goal of total testicular annihilation of her foe.
