Astrokill

Astrokill is a space combat game in which you pilot fighters, gunships, interceptors or medics in first or third person. You fly for either the Dominion of Man or the rebellious Outer Belt Alliance, fighting in ballistic dogfights across zero-gravity battlefields.

Missions and combat

You can progress through campaign missions or play standalone missions. Use ballistic and energy weapons against hostile fighters, turrets, freighters, capital ships and space-mines. Your arsenal includes machine guns, flak cannons, missile launchers, rail guns and lasers, as well as high-velocity bullets, explosive flak, homing missiles and EMP missiles.

Kinetic weapons dominate combat, while lasers can penetrate GShields, which block attacks using anti-gravity fields but have no effect on beam weapons. An EMP missile can disrupt a fighter’s electrical system, leaving it drifting without shields until its power is restored. You also face camping interceptors, homing space-mines and ace-pilots.

Flight and squad tactics

You control your spacecraft with six degrees of freedom using directional thrusters. The GShield uses anti-gravity to repel enemy fire. You can command squad members to guard areas, hold positions or rearm at the nearest hangar bay; flying as a medic lets you repair and rearm your wingmen.

You can use asteroids and debris for concealment from enemy detection, and support friendly capital ships as they attack enemy positions. The AI weighs changing battle conditions and makes decisions to mimic human behavior.

Battlefields

The battles take place among detailed planets, moons and asteroids. You must master your spacecraft and weapons to survive the zero-gravity fighting.
