Face off against a locust plague and tax collectors threatening your very existence. Enlist up to 16 friends in this erratic multiplayer bullet hell, sprinkled with Rogue lite mechanics.

“Ikki Unite” is based on the original “Ikki,” (also known in western countries as Boomerang and Farmers Rebellion) already an auto-shooter, the game is the true ancestor of today’s “horde survivors” games.

Once dubbed the “worst game of the 1980s,” Ikki Unite returns with a self-mocking wink and a provocative nod to its past. In a world saturated with AAA titles vying for the spotlight, Ikki Unite boldly claims its space as the real AAAAA of the year, ready to make a first impression so impactful, you’ll wonder how gaming survived without it.

Ikki Unite is not just any game; it’s a 16-player online cooperative adventure that celebrates unity, cooperation, and strategy.
