Turn a single shot into an entire attack pattern

Combine lasers, plasma, rockets, mines, projectile weapons, and drones. Upgrade your weapons through five tiers: single shots become spreads, and heavy projectiles become full volleys. Protect your immediate surroundings with orbiting weapons or clear groups of enemies with explosions.

Specialize in one weapon category to benefit from its bonuses, or combine different weapons to cover your build’s weaknesses.

Every shop visit changes your next battle

Will you invest in a new weapon or improve your existing arsenal? Buy more firepower, additional healing, or an item that brings your strengths together?

Earn extra credits from critical kills or strengthen your weapons with the wealth you’ve saved. The right combination turns individual upgrades into a build that works together.

A different ship opens up new possibilities

Choose your ship and a suitable starting weapon. Different stats, weapon slots, and unique abilities change which equipment is most valuable to you.

Unlock more ships through challenges and experiment with new combinations.

Your weapons fire. You find the way.

Rotate your ship, engage your thrusters, and find gaps between enemies and incoming fire. Keep your distance for precise attacks or dive into the thick of battle.

Face growing alien hordes and bosses with distinct attack patterns. A strong build gives you options — the right flight path keeps you alive.
