You awaken, to the dim hum of your spaceship's emergency system, sparks fly from your console, as you look up through the windshield, you see a space station that appears to be non-functional, the vast emptiness is unsettling, complimented by an eerie feeling like something is watching you, firing up your spaceship and escaping is your main priority.
With your spaceship on the brink of failure, but functionally intact, you move through out the space station, heading from room to room, searching for some way out of here.
Arriving at a mechanical looking room, with what appears to be a switch, and upon activation, the space station starts to come to life, you witness the room light up and activate, that must've been the space station's core restarting, from the depths of the unknown you hear a scream.
This space station is alive! You need to find the exit, and fast. The room appears to be making what can only be described as a loud pulsating noise, looking over to the walls, you can see exactly what was making that noise, a throbbing, mutated organism, that has appeared to have embedded itself into the space station, what on earth could this monstrosity be?Â
The game consists of 3 game modes.
Arcade: You start off by selecting you ship, you can unlock different ships, you can upgrade and place weapons into slots, then once you start, you go room to room, fighting enemies in a rogue-lite incremental gameplay, going down floors with tougher enemies, if the game is too tough, then you can take what you earned in game and start upgrading.
Gauntlet: When you begin, you pick your ship, but this is where the similarities end with arcade mode, you are able to pick different open ended levels, unlocking each of these, and performing different tasks to unlock more ships, abilities and levels, each level has different types of modes from a typical wave base incremental style game, to defending the reactor from waves.
Story:Â A combination of the above 2 game modes, you start off with a crashed ship, you then make your way through rooms and arrive at to what the hub is, perform different tasks, the goal is to hit the core of the space station, to unravel what has happened to everything.
