About This Game

Humanity has been exiled from Earth by ruthless invaders. We now cling to survival in derelict stations and outposts scattered throughout the solar system. As the last hope for mankind, you must navigate the remnants of civilization, uncover lost technologies, and fight for our future.

Vortica is a 2D twin-stick shooter roguelite where you take on a variety of unique missions across the solar system. As one of humanity’s last survivors, you will brave hostile territories, rescue stranded civilians, and track down deadly alien threats, all while scavenging for the resources needed to stay alive.

- Endless hordes of different enemies, each requiring different strategies to overcome stands in your way. Dispose of wave after wave using everything from rusty automatic rifles to high powered plasma guns, or deploy automated sentry turrets to assist you.

- Massive bosses are also waiting for you across the solar system, you’ll need to combine cunning and force to overcome them. As soon as your mission is completed, you need to haul ass. Get in your Vortal before it’s too late!

- Find utility items like jumping boots, traps, and improvised explosives, or craft them yourself in your homebase. With over 100 items available, you can block enemy spawns with a disruptor beacon or light your way through a powerless station with dark vision goggles. There's a tool for everything!

- Unlock increasingly advanced gear and expand your carrying capacity as you progress. Before long, the creatures that looked unbeatable will be the ones fighting for their lives. Finding new characters also unlocks more options in your home base, such as better crafting or new objectives.

- Choose your own path and explore the solar system using Vortal technology to transport to a variety of locations. Rescue stranded civilians, eliminate deadly alien threats, and collect resources in roguelike raids.

- Every run is different , some stations are plunged into darkness by power failures, some are saturated with radiation, and some force you to fight through facilities without gravity.
