By exploring the galaxy of Sigma Star Saga on foot, players can discover new parasitic Krill weaponry and gadgets in order to equip themselves and their spaceship. Additionally, players can collect up to 50 kinds of "Gun Data" and then combine them in simple combinations to customize and create their own unique weapon; such as "Spread Shot + Heat Seek + Explode."
