Chronicle: Unit Eight offers a blast to the past with its fast-paced arcade action. You must sabotage and destroy a secret weapon that a group of renegade Pirates have created to destroy planets; You play the role of Atlas, a mercenary on a mission hired by the Chronicle organization, and if you fail, it will have devastating consequences not only to your crew mates, but to the galaxy.  

Chronicle: Unit Eight features a vast perk tree and tons of cool upgrades for your ship through modifications. After each run, you can improve your weapons and defensive maneuvers for the ultimate chance of survival. Inspired by classics such as Raiden® and Ikaruga®, fans of vertical shooters are in for a thrill; Collect scraps that fall off enemy ships as you play to upgrade your ship for better performance, and discover the many secrets hidden throughout the game. An epic showdown awaits only the most skilled and trigger-happy pilots with a steady hand and quick reflexes. You can even destroy incoming enemy bullets and try your luck in Boss Rush mode or aim for topping the Leaderboard charts in Arcade mode.
