Description

Air Guitar Warrior is part music game, part scrolling shooter and full of rock attitude. Players will wield air guitars that double as weapons on a quest to find a legendary sword-guitar and challenge Heavy Metal Zeus at the top of the Temple of the Rock Gods.

History

Back in 2006, three university students wanted to build an air guitar game that would make rock stars out of everyone. Virtual Air Guitar Company was founded... yet disaster struck its first project, and it was never released. Now, after 11 years and 11 games, we've finally released a game with air guitars in it!

Features

  • 50 hand-painted levels, ranging from post-apocalyptic ruins to the pits of pandemonium
  • 21 vehicles including dinosaurs, sharks with lasers, tigers and jet-powered crocodiles, featuring different gameplay for flying and ground vehicles
  • 13 giant bosses
  • 8 guitar weapons, each with 5 tactical fire modes
  • 10 album covers that you can star in
  • Full custom soundtrack by Mika Tyyskä / Mr. Fastfinger and Samppa Siurala with 19 tracks ranging from classic rock to heavy metal
  • The guitar responds to your playing - choose slow or fast, rhythm or lead, or bend backwards to trigger destructive rapid fire
  • Scroll direction can be changed to support both right-handed and left-handed playing
