Developed by one-person, Space Cowboy Radio is an action-RPG shoot-em-up where you play as a member of The Breaker Union, fighting to take back the galaxy from the ruthless megacorporation Milco.

Choose from six unique union pilots, each with their own ship, active/passive abilities, and upgrade path. Travel a branching system map, take on high-risk missions, and earn Milcoin to power up your core vessel. Between battles, visit merchants, upgrade your build, and intercept forbidden transmissions from a pirate radio station spreading hope, music — and rebellion.

With original music, radio-driven storytelling, and fast-paced side-scrolling action, Space Cowboy Radio blends the intensity of shoot-em-ups with the long-term progression of an RPG.
