Vanisha

Vanisha is a fast-paced twin-stick shooter with a linear campaign and a story to uncover. Around the year 2132, Earth's telescopes detect an anomaly hundreds of light-years away: a force that makes everything around it disappear and is steadily moving toward Earth. You pilot the only ship sent to stop it, dodging bullet patterns, destroying drones and asteroids, and developing your starter ship into a stronger fighter.

The mission

The anomaly is swallowing whole star systems as it approaches Earth. You fly alone by choice, accompanied only by a voice over the comm channel. As you travel deeper into space, time seems to behave strangely and the silence takes on an unsettling quality.

Build your ship

Kills feed a build system, with upgrades that shape how you fight. You can collect and equip over 100 chips that modify offense, defense, mobility and economy; your available card slots start small and expand as you progress.

Six unlockable ships each use a distinct gun type: the balanced Basic, piercing Laser, continuous Beam, rapid-fire Machinegun, point-blank Shotgun and heavy Charge Shot. You can earn and upgrade them. Completing the campaign unlocks post-game mastery skills, which add bonuses to your existing build.

The campaign

The campaign spans six sectors, each made up of multi-phase, wave-based challenges designed to escalate as you grow stronger. Unlocking systems changes how later sectors play, and the ships differ enough to make the campaign worth completing more than once.

Combat and bosses

Dashing has invincibility windows, and precise timing triggers a Perfect Dash payoff. Kill streaks and phase bonuses reward you for sustaining pressure. Each sector ends in a multi-phase boss fight with its own behavior, followed by a final confrontation that tests your build.

Tougher difficulty modes change enemy attack patterns and make their fire faster and more dangerous, rather than simply increasing the numbers.
