Sky Champ is a space shooter about defending Earth from alien invaders using Okimon, fantasy creatures that take the form of spacecraft. Its Adventure Mode offers over 100 stages, where players pilot these ships through battles and use power-ups to survive. The story premise places Earth in danger after the malevolent Galaxy Shooter corporation sets Tyragon loose.
Stages and combat
Adventure Mode provides the main sequence of stages, with progressively challenging levels. Players can use up to five power-ups to help them survive difficult sections. This gives the shooter combat a resource-management element alongside piloting and attacking.
Okimon, pets and upgrades
Progression involves collecting rare items to upgrade spacecraft and acquiring new Okimon with different abilities. Players can also capture and equip over 90 pets and monsters, which have various evolution forms. These collection and equipment systems let players shape their setup as they advance through the stages.
League and play options
League is the game's competitive mode, and players can track their ranking on the Worlds Billboard. Sky Champ can be played online or offline; the description states that online play provides more rewards. This makes online play relevant to reward collection, while offline play remains an available option.
