Cosmic Warfront

Cosmic Warfront is a combat game in which you pilot and customize a heavy combat platform to fight through 12 sectors of dead space and reach the core of Archon, an AI that has turned humanity’s infrastructure against it. With no reinforcements or backup, you build your ship to meet the threats ahead. The campaign spans four acts and ends in a showdown with Archon.

Build your combat platform

Your chassis shapes your playstyle, while weapons, drones, modules and artifacts let you tailor your combat machine. The game has six chassis:

• Interceptor: speed, combo multipliers and time slowdown.
• Assault: balanced damage per second and orbital strikes on clusters.
• Engineer: drones, repairs and a protective dome.
• Dreadnought: armor and ramping damage at the cost of shields.
• Vanguard: head-on assaults, system overload and heavy tanking.
• Spectre: critical hits, phase windows and precision.

There are eight weapon types, including homing missiles, chain lightning, ricocheting flechettes and triple plasma volleys. Four combat drones provide strike, repair, interceptor and radar functions. More than 30 modules and artifacts span four rarity tiers. The chassis, weapons and drones yield over 192 base build combinations; adding modules and artifacts creates thousands of possibilities.

Manage four resources

Combat requires balancing four resources. Shields regenerate, but taking a hit resets their regeneration timer. Hull takes damage once shields are depleted, and can only be restored with a drone or at a shop. Energy powers your dash, railgun, EMP and ultimate, so spending it on dodges leaves less for attacks. Sustained fire builds heat until your weapon locks up.

Face three armies

Each of the three armies calls for different tactics, and eight elite modifiers—including blink, vampiric, berserk and self-repair—make enemies unpredictable from run to run.

• Synthetic Swarm: Rammers, leapers and living bombs attack in waves. Its boss, QUEEN, uses bullet fans and homing missiles and grows more aggressive with each phase.
• Guardian Machines: Beams, shields, traps and space denial let them cut off escape routes instead of chasing you. PRISM, their boss, is a puzzle fight that requires you to read its patterns.
• Space Marauders: Mines, heavy armor and raw firepower define this faction. Its boss, CARRIER, attacks with drones, mines and missile salvos at once.

Earn rewards through skill

The game rewards risk and precision through 20 combat mechanics. Chain kills with Kill Streak / Multi-Kill to multiply rewards; fight harder near death with Adrenaline Rush; and earn a bonus for a Perfect Dodge. Near-Miss restores energy when you skim past a bullet, while 30 consecutive kills trigger Berserker Mode. Danger Zone awards a bonus when you are surrounded by three or more enemies. You can revive once per sector with Last Stand, and Overkill Explosion sends excess damage to nearby enemies.

Choose a game mode

Cosmic Warfront has four modes, each available at Arcade, Standard, Veteran and Hardcore difficulty:

• Campaign: Fight through 12 sectors and four acts, with shops between missions, upgrade choices and a final showdown with Archon.
• Endless: Face infinite waves with escalating difficulty.
• Contracts: Take on fixed modifier sets for higher payouts, with a specific challenge and reward.
• Daily Seed: Play the same seed as every other player that day, under equal conditions.

Take on varied missions

Seven mission types and six biomes shape each sector. Missions include Survive, Hold Beacon, Escort Core, Hunt Elites, Destroy Relay, Boss Assault and special operations. Biomes include nebulae, asteroid belts, dead orbits, magnetic storms, silent sectors and gravitational anomalies. Each mission-and-biome combination changes how you approach it.

Compete and customize

The game includes global leaderboards and daily challenges for competition on equal terms. You can remap the controls.
