Released back in May without much fanfare, DRAINUS has caught the gaming community by surprise, receiving many positive reviews along the way.
DRAINUS, Team Ladybug’s first original IP, is a side-scrolling shooter that retains all that is good of the classics while adding brand new elements to make a fresh take of the genre.
From the unique Reflector that allows you to absorb enemy fire to unleash back at them, endless upgradable customizations, gorgeous pixel art, high-energy soundtrack to the captivating stories and characters, DRAINUS presents overall excellence in one package, which is why we feel that it is an excellent candidate for Steam Awards’ Game of the Year.
We would appreciate all your support in nominating DRAINUS as Steam’s Game of the Year!
