Tachyon Fire

Tachyon Fire is a fast-paced arena FPS in which you play as Metatron, fighting mechanical fiends that have overrun the projected realm of the collective unconscious. With the Kali Yuga reaching its 400,000-year apex, you must destroy the fiends and purge the Akashic code of their corruption. You harvest energy from enemies to evolve your weapons, then master each level by optimizing your movement and crowd control to finish as quickly as possible.

Combat

There is no fall damage, reloading, regenerating health or randomly generated gameplay. Your strategy, movement and aim determine your fate in each arena. You can rapidly switch between three distinct weapons, each with three upgrade levels, as you fight escalating waves of enemies.

Nine enemy types attack in massive swarms. Some slither and coil, others lumber or swirl into clouds, while some raise fluid shield-walls.

Movement

The arenas let you ski, slide, bounce, bunny hop, shotgun jump and machine-gun boost. You can combine these movement techniques as you choose while navigating the levels and controlling enemy crowds.

Soundtrack and creation

The game features an original soundtrack by Mombius. It was built almost entirely by a single developer, who created the engine, levels and sound design, along with most of the models, from the ground up.
