Game summary

Captain Kaon is a love letter to classics such as Thrust and Gravitar. It’s a twin-stick gravity shooter with a retro style. Pilot a gunship across the solar system, battling the evil machinations of Doctor Quantex! The Earth Interstellar Navy is in the far off Regulus Sector, at war with an alien race called the Drullz. Only the Home Defence Fleet is left to protect the Earth, but it is a sorry collection of out of date, broken down, ships. When Doctor Quantex strikes, these antiques are all that stand between him and total dominion over the solar system. Fresh out of the academy and assigned to the decrepit Argus, flagship of the Home Defence Fleet, Captain Talia ‘Kaon’ will do everything she can to prove her mettle. Driven by a desire to protect others after losing her family to a Drullz attack, she is desperate to join the war in Regulus. Now she has a different threat to face as the forces of Doctor Quantex ravage the solar system.

Play Captain Kaon on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Captain Kaon on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
