Iron Vigil

Iron Vigil is a top-down 2D shooter built around surviving an escalating series of combat trials.

Fight through a desert relic mission, endure mounting waves around a captured altar, then face a multi-phase final boss. Defeated enemies award credits that can be spent on upgrades between battles—but greater power also strengthens the resistance ahead.

Features:

• Three distinct missions with relic, endurance, and boss objectives
• Persistent progression across the campaign
• Upgrade choices for damage, fire rate, multishot, sprint, and life steal
• Enemy spawn warnings, varied enemy behavior, and shooter spacing
• A three-phase boss with bullet patterns, summoned enemy waves, and escalating pressure
• Custom UI, music, sounds, and player variants for each stage

Created as an expanded version of the Coursera 2D Shooter project.
