Vortica is a 2D twin-stick shooter roguelite where you brave hostile territories, rescue stranded civilians, and neutralize deadly alien threats across the solar system. Scavenge for resources, craft weapons and items and carefully select your loadouts to overcome each unique mission.
COMBAT
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!
CUSTOMIZE
Find utility items like jumping boots, traps, and improvised explosives, or craft them yourself in your homebase. With over 100 items available, you can repel enemies, grow resources or light your way through dark powerless stations. 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.
EXPLORE
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.
