Two-Person Indie Studio Takes Aim With Shoot ’Em Up Sturmjäger

“If it moves, shoot it. If it doesn’t move… maybe shoot it anyway.”


Hailed as a fast-paced sci-fi horizontal shoot ’em up, Sturmjäger aims to blend classic arcade action with modern accessibility features.

When it releases on January 14, 2027, you’ll be able to battle through 10 unique stages either solo or in couch co-op.

Beyond simply surviving each stage, Sturmjäger will offer Arcade, Mission, and Score Attack modes, featuring a scoring system that rewards kills, chains, proximity attacks, and no-death runs. Players can chase high scores on global leaderboards while listening to an original soundtrack by Rafael Dyll.
