What is it?
194X is a vertical-scrolling plane shooter in the spirit of classic 1945-style arcade games. Firing is automatic, so you focus on dodging and positioning.
Grab power, sub-weapon and ultimate items, and fly with up to four friends. Gamepads supported.
How to play
- Pick a plane in the lobby and press Fly Solo. To play with friends, use Quick Join or Create Room.
- Firing is automatic from the start. Move with the arrow keys or WASD and dodge enemy bullets.
- Pick up P (power), S (sub-weapon), U (ultimate), H (health) and M (medal) items dropped by enemies.
- When the ultimate gauge reaches 100, press X. Ultimates are defensive moves that keep you safe.
- In co-op, stay beside a downed ally to rescue them, and overlap an ally for 3 seconds to merge into one formation.
- Shoot down the boss at the end of a stage to move on to the next one.
Good to know
- Getting shot down resets power to 1 and drops your sub-weapon. Grab the P you dropped.
- When merged, the lower-numbered player flies and the others aim turrets with their move keys. Health is shared.
- Versus is best of 3 with 90-second rounds. X is a shield and B/I (pad Y) strikes the other side; both use the same gauge.
- Daily Sortie is a solo mission that changes every day; everyone flies the same plane and rules.
