Plexus

Plexus is an experimental 2D shooter with RPG elements and a nonlinear route through a global map. You move between worlds, fight crowds of monsters and avoid dangerous traps, choosing which biomes to visit and which levels to bypass.

Combat

Every weapon has two firing modes. You can also collect active and passive spells, including abilities that create black holes or grant invisibility.

The global map

You explore the world of Plexus across four biomes: Factory, Cave, Aether and Chaos. Between fights, you choose the next biome or bypass a complex level on the global map. Visiting the biomes in different orders changes the whole world.

Ship components and tactics

The ship has a component system with a large selection of guns, engines and armor, which you can combine into different ship builds. Random item drops affect the tactics available to you, including warrior, stealth and manipulator approaches. Choosing a different order for visiting the biomes gives you a reason to replay.
