Baroque Shooting is a vertical scrolling shoot-’em-up. It serves as a spin-off from the dark, post-apocalyptic roguelike Baroque, reimagined as an arcade-style shooter. In the game, you control an angelic character flying through desolate ruins populated by grotesque enemies from the Baroque universe.
