Overview

SAMS is a vibrant 2D side-scrolling shooter that harks back to the arcade classics of the 1990s. Players take on the role of Che, a brave pilot piloting the Hermes-2700 spaceship. The mission is to search for the life-giving civilization known as SAMS, as Che's home planet has been rendered uninhabitable by the cruel "Pured" empire. The core gameplay involves navigating through various environments, blasting enemies, and completing objectives across six unique planets.

Highlights

Who It's For

This game is perfect for players who have a fondness for retro arcade experiences, particularly classic shoot 'em ups. Fans of cooperative gameplay on a single PC will also find a lot to love here. If you enjoy fast-paced action with a nostalgic visual style, SAMS is worth checking out.
