Varia is a “shmup”, or shoot-em-up, of the arcade variety that many grew up with, not the modern FPS games. In Varia, you control a ship with which you must defeat 4 levels chocked full of enemies, bosses and mini-bosses. The game draws inspiration from many other shmups, such as Raiden 2, Ikaruga, Gradius V, and Cho Ren Sha 68k.

The game is another topdown shooter, based on the concept of Americas Army, Soldat, and Unreal Tournament. The final release was to be online-only (with offline training missions), with many features like ConflictED Map Editor, server-filters, account statistics, and much more. However, after GameCave has closed down and the developers are each going through their own priority commitments, we have had to make the sacrifice of taking out online gameplay.
