Oblivion's Edge

Oblivion's Edge is a twin-stick shooter with bullet hell-inspired combat. You play as Earth's last pilot, fighting an alien invasion to give survivors time to escape. After attempts to fight back fail and contact with the fleet is lost, the battle reaches Earth, whose resources are dwindling and defenses are destroyed. Your chance to help save the planet is to hold off the enemy and, if you can last long enough, destroy its massive mothership.

Game modes

The game has four modes, each with three difficulty settings:

• Survival: Destroy waves of enemies so escape pods can leave Earth's orbit. You face drones, fighters, blockade runners, offensive satellites and the almost indestructible mothership.
• Defend: Keep enemies away from a damaged defensive satellite while a bot repairs it. Gun turrets help protect the satellite; if it is lost, the game is over.
• Minefield: Your primary weapons are disabled, leaving you with bombs, mines and flares to fight the enemy. Try to survive for as long as possible.
• Classic: Fight increasingly fast waves of enemies heading straight for Earth. The game ends if too many get past.

Weapons and defenses

You can use multiple weapon boosters and deployable defensive items. The game also features challenging boss fights.
