Overview

War in Space plunges players into a retro-style arcade shooter experience, challenging them to battle relentless waves of enemy ships. Developed and published by Aternix, this indie title offers a classic shoot 'em up thrill with modern progression systems.

Highlights

  • Intense Arcade Action: Engage in fast-paced combat against over eighty waves of diverse enemy types, from agile fighters to formidable stationary turrets and the heavily armored Bard.
  • Ship Progression: Earn credits with each wave cleared to upgrade your ship's defenses, offensive capabilities, and unlock special abilities via a tech tree. You can even call in allied ships for support.
  • Strategic Leveling: Every ten levels present a choice of four unique upgrades, influenced by your tech tree unlocks. Dying doesn't mean starting from scratch; you'll respawn at the beginning of the last ten-level segment.
