The story behind the game. Created by Welcome to Earth Stories.
Jerusalem is under attack from the skies, and one defender stands between the city and the storm.
You are the Masked Guardian. From high above the rooftops you patrol a living map of the real Jerusalem: the Old City and Temple Mount below you, the German Colony, Mount Scopus, and the Western Hills spread out in every direction. When the sirens sound, you fly.
Seven sectors. Seven bosses.
The city is divided into seven sectors, and each one is guarded by a boss with its own temper: the Sky Reaver, the Iron Manta, the Hive Carrier, the Storm Hammer, the Void Serpent, the Obsidian Citadel, and at the very end, a monster the city only whispers about.
In your ear the whole way is Watchtower, your command voice. She briefs you before every sector, calls out attacks on the city’s generators, and warns you when your shield and hull are failing. Listen to her. She has saved more Guardians than she will ever admit.
Faith under fire
This is a battle fought with more than guns. Collect the white feathers that drift from fallen enemies and your Prayer meter fills. When it is full, call down Prayer Power, a sweeping beam of light no boss can shrug off.
And when destroyed enemies drop glowing gold shards, gather them. Five shards raise the Shield of Faith, a wall of light around your ship that nothing can pierce, for as long as it lasts.
Between sectors, the fighting pauses, and a verse of Scripture appears over the city, in the New King James Version. Strength for the next battle.
Something is wrong over Jerusalem
Pilots have reported another ship over the city. It flies like the Guardian. It fights like the Guardian. It wears his very shape, painted black and red.
Watchtower has only one name for it: the Evil Twin.
When he comes for you, you will know. Fly well, Guardian.
Climb the ranks
Every victory is remembered. Rise from Sentinel to Warden, Vanguard, Knight, Castellan, High Warden, and at last Guardian Commander, and your best record is kept on your own phone, waiting for you to beat it.
