Black Paradox

Black Paradox is a roguelite shoot 'em up in which you pilot a time-jumping bounty hunter pursuing the universe’s most wanted criminals through waves of enemies. Each run has different levels and enemy patterns, and you unlock permanent progression, weapons, ships and upgrades between runs.

The hunt

You take on waves of enemies and bosses as you pursue the most wanted criminals across the universe. The game combines arcade-style shooting with modern progression systems, and every run brings different challenges.

Modes and difficulty

Endless Mode sends you through escalating waves, with the goal of surviving for as long as possible. Multiple difficulty options are available. The Reloaded update also rebalances difficulty with a smoother learning curve for newcomers and a demanding late game.

Weapons and ships

You can unlock dozens of weapons, ships and upgrades. Permanent progression carries over between runs, giving you new options as you continue your bounty hunt.

Reloaded update

The update redesigns the visuals, including sprites, effects and the user interface. It also includes performance, control and accessibility improvements, along with dozens of fixes informed by the community.
