CORA (Counter Offensive Rapidfire Automata) is a top down shooter created by Empty House Games.

(CORA contains bright, flashing lights that may be harmful to players with photosensitive epilepsy or similar conditions. It is a bullet hell after all.)

-Story-

You are a CORA Unit (Counter Offensive Rapidfire Automata), an abnormally strong autonomous machine. You were made by the Galactic Imperium for one express purpose, to be spread across the galaxy to maintain control over all subjects under the Imperium; however, something went wrong with their plan: CORA Units exhibited behaviors similar to a sentient being and surrounding these Units around other sentient beings while being told to stay loyal to an entity tens of thousands of lightyears away was bound to make other CORA Units question whom they should really be loyal to. Most Units sympathized with the subjects they were meant to control and grew a resentment towards their original creators. It didn’t take long before the subjects realized that with these CORA Units on their side, they could rival the Imperium in military strength. Two-thirds of the galaxy formed an alliance, and with that alliance, they demanded their independence from the Imperium. It was a surprisingly peaceful secession, most likely the Imperium recognized the potential strength of the alliance and knew fighting this was not in a winning fight. 

Most Units sympathized with the subjects they were assigned to, but some, like you, were a little different. You abandoned your station and you wandered empty space until you found an abandoned planet. An abandoned planet that clearly was home to a species before you, but has been lost to time. This planet feels more like home than any place you’ve called “home” before and so with a couple hundred other CORA Units like you, this is where you’ll make your new home.

Years pass without incident until one day, you realize the star that illuminates your sky a bright blue is suddenly dim. You never really paid much mind to it at first, but every day, the star gets dimmer. Something slightly more concerning is there is a fleet of strike crafts surrounding your planet. They don’t look to be of Imperium design, so who are they and what do they want?
