Flightpath

Flightpath is a beginner-friendly, top-down shooter set in Venaris, a small planetary system terrorized by the criminal Syndicate. You guide one of three characters on a mission to bring the Syndicate’s secretive leader, The Chairman, to justice. In certain stages, you choose between two paths; your decisions change the events that follow, including the missions, characters and bosses you encounter, and the ending. Each character has their own story, with multiple paths.

The fight against the Syndicate

The planetary administrations and system forces have failed to stop the Syndicate. Three people decide to take matters into their own hands after encountering its criminal operations:

• Katherine “Kath” McKenzie: a mechanical engineer who spends most of her time tinkering with spaceships.
• A.J.: a disgraced former detective framed for a crime committed by the Syndicate.
• Maxine “Max” Speed: a professional aeroracer.

Each vows to take down the organization and find The Chairman. Your choices can lead you to destroy Syndicate operations, pursue an escaping villain for information about The Chairman’s plot, or fight an area boss. One path may mean leaving a kidnapped friend unrescued.

Choices and missions

The choices you make alter the story’s course from that point onward, changing which characters you meet, which bosses you fight and how the story ends. Missions can also give you specific objectives, such as rescuing someone, destroying Syndicate property, recovering important items or defeating a boss to disrupt the organization’s plans.

Stages and combat

Fight through ten distinct stage locations. Enemies and their attack patterns are procedurally generated rather than arranged into predetermined, synchronized attacks, and stages are procedurally built to vary between runs. Flightpath is a shoot ’em up, but not a bullet-hell shooter.
