The Gn’rthan people were peace loving and not warlike. Because of that they
were ill equipped to deal with the invasion of the Jvaran Empire. The Gn’rthan
are fighting a losing battle on all fronts as the Jvaran Divine Navy continues
it’s attack. The Jvaran’s use a strange fungal weapon that infects machinery
and computers, taking them over… Karth Solemu is a test pilot and decides in
desperation to ask Central, the AI of the Gn’rthan civilization, to build him
a ship from one of the factories. Advanced in weaponry and maneuverability,
Karth names his new ship “Faith” and prepares to confront the Jvaran forces
with it. As Karth launches his fighter into space, transmissions from Central
go silent and the remaining machines revert to simple programming…

Adagio is a horizontally scrolling shooter game. Players take the role of
Karth Solemu in his ship Faith. As the screen scrolls towards the right, Karth
will encounter enemy ships. To destroy them, Faith has a primary weapon, which
can be upgraded via power-ups to different types including: Blade Laser,
Spread Beam and Wave Cannon. Additionally the Faith has a secondary orb weapon
which can be deployed and recalled. When deployed the orb homes in on enemy
vessels and destroys them, however the temperature gauge increases and the orb
must cool down before doing additional damage. When recalled, the orb rotates
around the faith, absorbing enemy projectiles and destroying nearby enemy
vessels.

During each level, trophies can be found and collected. Gaining the necessary
amount of trophies allows the player to activate cheats and special
modifications to the game, such as extra lives or “Disco Fever” mode.
