Overview

About this game

Pilot a strike craft through twisting caverns and across the asteroid belt in a fast-paced caveflyer shooter. Master tight controls, complete mission-specific objectives, and unleash ever-deadlier firepower as battles escalate into dazzling, bullet-filled chaos.

In the Human Campaign, you’ll defend the mining colonies sector by sector. Each mission brings unique objectives—secure convoys, disable installations, hold territory—while rewarding you with the resources needed to upgrade your fleet and unlock devastating new weapons. Progression is incremental and satisfying: from nimble dogfights in narrow tunnels to full-scale battles where the screen erupts into controlled bullet hell.

The threat is greater than ever. Centuries after their defeat, the Cyborgs have returned—using time travel to strike at humanity once more. But their technology came at a cost: the jump through time tore open a cross-dimensional rift, unleashing horrors they never intended. Now, alongside their armies, the Cyborgs wield a manufactured bioweapon designed to consume the stars. Humanity’s survival rests on reclaiming the Belt.

Prefer to fight with friends? Jump into Local Multiplayer Skirmish for 2–4 players. Choose from four distinct factions—Humans, Cyborgs, Aliens, or Ethereals—and clash in competitive modes like Capture the Energy Cell, King of Portals, and all-out Deathmatch. With split-screen battles, the asteroid belt becomes a playground of chaos, teamwork, and rivalries.
